Candelabra Grandiflora Rose: Sprays of Pink Perfection

The Candelabra grandiflora rose, introduced in 1998 by Zary (PP11016, JACcinqo), earns its name with large, candelabra-like sprays of high-centered, medium pink flowers. A grandiflora that truly bridges hybrid tea form and floribunda abundance.
