Miniature Rose 'Pacific Serenade': Saville's Fragrant Pink Melody

Introduced in 1997 by Saville (PP11810, aka SAVanade), 'Pacific Serenade' continues the breeder's focus on fragrance in miniature roses. The plant forms a compact, bushy mound 15 to 18 inches tall and wide, bearing clusters of 1.5 to 2-inch, fully double blooms in a lovely clear pink. The flowers are high-centered when opening, then cup gracefully, with a strong, sweet, spicy fragrance—exceptional for a miniature.

Foliage is small, glossy, dark green, and disease-resistant. 'Pacific Serenade' blooms heavily in flushes from spring through fall. Hardy to USDA zone 5, it excels in containers, rock gardens, and edging. For miniature rose lovers who refuse to compromise on scent, 'Pacific Serenade' hits all the right notes.
