DESCRIPTION
Rosa ‘Betty Prior’ is a floribunda rose that bears clusters of rose‑pink single blooms with white centers, opening from late spring through fall. The blossoms emerge in profuse waves set against matte green foliage, and the plant displays an upright, spreading habit. Its fragrance is mild and gently spicy.
Introduced in the 1930s, ‘Betty Prior’ remains favored for its reliability and cold hardiness. It endures summer heat and continues to bloom under stress, producing clean foliage and consistent floral displays. Its bright, airy flowering habit makes it ideal for mass plantings, borders, or accent spots in mixed gardens.
