Mon Coeur-Japan

Mon Coeur is a large shrub rose bred in 2012 by Japanese breeder Takunori Kimura. Growing up to 6 ft (150–180 cm) tall, it is often cultivated as a climber due to its height and flexible canes. With soft pink blooms measuring 2–3 in (5–8 cm) in diameter and a delightful fragrance combining Damask rose and musk, this rose is an excellent choice for gardens and containers. It boasts strong disease resistance, a vigorous growth habit, and repeat blooming throughout the seasons.
