When this plant is blooming it's very pretty, but be prepared for a very messy flowerbed. This rose produces so many blooms that the obvious negative side effect is a solid carpet of petals once the bloom fades. Very slow to second flush...

This variety rebels against the idea that roses are hard to grow! No spraying, no deadheading, just lots of flowers all season long!
Similar to 'Peace' in its coloration, the orange buds of Oso Easy Italian Ice® rose open to soft yellow flowers melting into pink blushed margins. The soft flower color is set off nicely by its dark green, glossy foliage. Flowers are semi-doubled, with 24-30 petals per bloom. This self-cleaning rose has excellent disease-resistance, abundant flowers, and a nice habit, making it an excellent plant for home gardens.
Oso Easy Italian Ice rose is featured in our "Mama Mia" magazine advertisment.
Top reasons to grow Oso Easy Italian Ice rose:
- Multi-toned flowers bring unbelievably beautiful color to the garden or landscape - flower color is even more intense in autumn!
- Glossy, dark green foliage resists diseases
- Blooms all season without deadheading.

I've had this for two years now and it's grown so much! It was the first to bloom this year and looks spectacular. I have a lot of the oso easy rose bushes and they all have flourished with zero maintenance!

I am a professional rose breeder and this is my key breeder because it's excellent in every way, per the others comments. Disease-resistant, floriferous, well-clothed with glossy foliage, symmetrical, compact (3o") ---I haven't even smelled the flowers but having just read the comments, I'm going to do so right now.

I have 4 of these Italian Ice rose bushes....They are beautiful and I just dare you to find a rose that smells better! They are prolific bloomers and bees love them!

This is definitely my favorite rose bush! Not only is the color beautiful but the smell is incredible! It will fill up the immediate area with a wonderful scent! Easy to grow, too! I have 3 and just ordered another one!

A definite proven winner in my yard. I have five plants which sit on a south facing slope blooming all summer long from June through September. Rebloom is great and the colors are a bit variable lending a vibrant look to the garden. The plants have spread slowly but steadily over the 3-4 years I've had them and have filled in a nice section of the garden. Big compliments from the neighbors!
