The name 'candy pink' is chosen to evoke cotton candy and strawberry ice cream. The color has a 'delicious ' quality to it that cooler pinks lack. There are a number of pretty good roses in this category. And the color tends to play well with just about any other rose color except, perhaps, chrome yellow or gold.
Interestingly, several climbers are among the best: Blairii #2, Constance Spry, and Clair Matin. Perhaps the best of the bunch is Konigin von Danemark. It is doubtful that any rose produces a better shaped shrub. Its flowers are perfectly formed, very fragrant, and bloom season lasts a generous two weeks. All this on an extraordinarily tough plant. Really, it's hard to do better. I am a fan of Geisha for its completely unique red stamens. Where it grows well it deserves much better exposure. I have grown Cupcake, Felicia, and Complicata with some success and am very pleased with each.
