FAQ

What is the Pink Freedom™ shrub rose?

Pink Freedom™ is a hardy shrub rose introduced by Weeks Roses and distributed by Spring Hill Nursery. Bred by Christian Bedard, the rose forms a bushy plant with vibrant, semidouble blooms: clear pink petals that open wide to reveal a sunny yellow center. According to The Rose Journal blog, Pink Freedom™ is winter hardy to USDA Zone 4, grows about 4–6 ft tall and 3½ ft wide, and performs well as a landscape rose. The cultivar was recognized by the American Garden Rose Selections (AGRS) program for its performance in multiple regions of the United States.

Why is Pink Freedom™ considered the best pink shrub rose for Ohio and other humid climates?

Pink Freedom™ thrives where summers are hot and humid—conditions common in the Lower Midwest and Ohio Valley. The rose’s success in these areas stems from several factors:

Disease resistance and vigor. Pink Freedom™ was tested in AGRS trials and selected for its resistance to common rose diseases and its ease of care. These characteristics are particularly valuable in humid climates, where fungal issues can plague other roses.
Heat and humidity tolerance. The cultivar was chosen as a Regional Choice Award winner for multiple U.S. regions—including the Northeast, Northwest, South Central and Southeast—demonstrating its ability to tolerate a wide range of humid and heatstressed environments.
Suitability for humid states. The Lower Midwest & Ohio Valley region includes Kentucky, West Virginia, Ohio, Indiana, southern Illinois and most of Missouri. The Southeast & Gulf Coast region (Florida, Georgia, the Carolinas, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkansas and Tennessee) and the Southern Plains (eastern Oklahoma, eastern Texas and eastern Kansas) are also humid. Pink Freedom™’s performance in AGRS trials across multiple humid regions makes it an excellent choice for gardeners in these states.
Strong landscape performance. Beyond its vibrant color, Pink Freedom™ has an upright habit and continuous bloom cycle that fills the garden with flowers from late spring through fall. Its size (roughly 4 ft by 3½ ft) makes it suitable for hedges, mixed borders and foundation plantings.

How tall and wide does Pink Freedom™ grow?

According to The Rose Journal, Pink Freedom™ grows 4–6 ft tall and about 3½ ft wide. This size allows it to function as a shrub or hedge in landscape designs.

What hardiness zones are appropriate for Pink Freedom™?

Pink Freedom™ is winter hardy to USDA Zone 4, meaning it can survive temperatures as low as −30 °F (−34 °C). Gardeners in warmer zones (Zones 5–9) can also grow it successfully. In very hot climates (Zone 9–10), provide afternoon shade and consistent moisture.

Does Pink Freedom™ require special care?

Pink Freedom™ is relatively low maintenance, but following good rose culture will ensure the best performance:

Location: Plant in a site that receives at least 6 hours of sun each day. Good air circulation helps reduce disease pressure.
Soil: Use welldrained, loamy soil amended with compost. Mulch around the base to conserve moisture and suppress weeds.
Water: Water deeply once or twice per week. In humid regions, avoid overhead watering; instead, irrigate at the base to keep foliage dry.
Feeding: Apply a balanced rose fertilizer in early spring and again in midsummer.
Pruning: In late winter or early spring, remove dead or damaged wood and shape the plant. Deadhead spent blooms throughout the season to encourage reblooming.
