🌸 Key Features
Pink & White Candy-Stripe Blooms
Each bloom is a masterpiece – large, elegant, and playfully striped in shades of bright pink and creamy white. The effect is striking in the garden and eye-catching in floral arrangements.
Grandiflora Growth Habit
As a Grandiflora rose, 'Pink Illusion' combines the best of both worlds: the tall, upright stems of hybrid teas with the clustered, abundant flowering of floribundas. Expect generous flushes of colour throughout the season.
Tall & Elegant Form
Reaching heights of approximately 1.5-1.8 metres, this stately rose makes a commanding presence in beds, borders, and feature plantings. Its upright form is well-suited for back-of-border planting or as a central garden feature.
Mild, Sweet Fragrance
A soft, sweet scent adds a gentle layer of charm to the bold visual impact, making it just as delightful up close as it is from a distance.
 
🌿 Grows Beautifully in Toowoomba Conditions
'Pink Illusion' performs exceptionally well in Toowoomba’s rose-friendly climate – with cool winters to set buds and warm, sunny seasons to support continual blooming. It’s disease-tolerant and rewards gardeners with a long flowering season, stretching from spring through late autumn.
 
Ideal for:
Feature planting in rose gardens
Modern cottage or formal designs
Gardeners seeking high-impact blooms
Fresh-cut flower displays
 
🌱 Planting & Care Tips
