Felicia
Hybrid Musk
Origin - Pemberton, 1928
Parentage - 'Trier' x 'Ophelia'
Color - Pink
Foliage - Medium green
Thorns - Moderate
Size - 4' - 6' h. x 4' - 6' w. (shrub)
Fragrance - Strong, musky
Repeat bloom - Yes
Disease resistance - Good
Hardiness - Zone 6
Felicia is among the more mild mannered of the hybrid musks. Her dainty semi-double blooms are small (about 2 1/2 inches) and sweetly scented. Color starts out as clear pink and fades to silvery pink. Blooms are long lasting and repeat is good. They make excellent cut flowers.
In girth, Felicia is not as vigorous as most hybrid musks. Growth remains narrow and tall and thus makes a good candidate to train on a pillar. Left to her own devices, a 4' x 4' bush can be expected over several years (growth rate is slower than other hybrid musks). This rose would work better in a perennial grouping or shrub border than as a specimen plant. A good choice for a smaller garden.
