Roses tend to do pink very well; so it's little wonder that there are quite a few excellent roses on this list. Furthermore, pink is an easy color to work into a rose garden because all the cool colors are happy hanging out with pink. The strong pinks will stand up well to a number of assertive colors; yellow and red come to mind. Orange will work well, but the apricots and golds will sometimes not work well.
Old Blush, Celisana, and Chaplin's Pink, and Paul's Tea Rambler are among the pink roses I have been most impressed with in gardens. Interestingly, none has been my own. I have failed with Elveshorn and Jens Munk. Neither really blooms for me. I do like Mrs John Laing; the flowers are very fragrant and the bush is fairly well branched by hybrid perpetual standards, but the rose does get fungal diseases which set it back a bit.
