Registration name: Desmarita
Exhibition name: Marita Lindner

Bred by Luis Desamero (United States, 2006).

Miniature.  

Light pink.  None to mild fragrance.  Average diameter 1".  Medium, full (26-40 petals), cluster-flowered, in small clusters bloom form.  Blooms in flushes throughout the season.  

Medium, bushy.  Small, semi-glossy, medium green foliage.  

Height: up to 2' (up to 60cm).  

USDA zone 6b through 9b (default).  Can be used for beds and borders, container rose, cut flower or garden.  Remove spent blooms to encourage re-bloom.  Spring Pruning: Remove old canes and dead or diseased wood and cut back canes that cross. In warmer climates, cut back the remaining canes by about one-third. In colder areas, you'll probably find you'll have to prune a little more than that.  

Dedicated to Marita Costa de Lindner, Uruguayan rosarian (d. 2022)
