Talk about petal power! We’re talking about the Easy Elegance® My Girl Shrub Rose (Rosa ‘BAIgirl’ PP 19,952) has buds that are deep pink and is well-known for its big clusters of blooms being chock full of ruffled petals! The hot pink blooms age a bit lighter and open wide to reveal a golden yellow center! Giving you a varied gilded two-tone look that smothers the entire shrub!
The effect on your landscape and in your vase arrangements is incredible! The beautiful green foliage serves as an elegant backdrop to the blooms, and to other plants in the landscape. The adorable, round, deep pink buds on My Girl are held in clusters of 5 to 30, opening to ruffly blossoms so full they almost hide the centers. This own root shrub Rose is backed by medium green foliage, proven to be highly resistant to black spot with little to no defoliation.
Easy Elegance® My Girl Rose is a result of modern breeding techniques that make these roses superior to Roses from the past. They are far more disease-resistant, almost endlessly rebloom easily, and tolerate heat and cold better than any other Rose on the market! Wonderfully adaptable throughout USDA growing zones 4 to 9, there’s little these Shrub Roses will balk at in your garden!

Tips for Care
Easy Elegance® Roses are easy to grow and My Girl is no exception. Plant these modern Roses where they’ll get plenty of air circulation and full sun. Morning sun is best, and they’ll need at least six or more hours of full sun a day. Plant in well-drained soil that doesn’t stay soggy after rainfall and plant with some Nature Hills Root Booster to help your long-lived Roses with a symbiotic relationship with tiny feeder roots – it never wears out!
Provide a consistent yet moderate amount of water throughout the growing season and try to only water at the base of the plant, rather than wet the foliage. Spread a 3-4 inch layer of mulch to help reduce dirt splashing onto the leaves. This helps reduce the spread of disease and keeps your foliage clean.
In early spring and mid-summer, apply a slow-release fertilizer for flowering plants. Follow the application rates on the label, please. Prune own-root Roses down to eight inches in early spring just as they start to wake back up. Even the coldest winters will only kill the tops, but then regrow from the roots as good as ever!
