Medium pink.

Bred by Paul Barden (United States, 2003).
Introduced in United States by The Uncommon Rose Historic Archive in 2004 as 'Gallicandy'.

Gallica / Provins.  

Pink.  Moderate, myrrh, old rose fragrance.  20 to 40 petals.  Average diameter 3.5".  Medium-large, semi-double (9-16 petals), cupped-to-flat bloom form.  Once-blooming spring or summer.  

Armed with thorns / prickles, bushy, dense, spreading, upright.  Medium, semi-glossy, medium green foliage.  

Height: 4' to 6' (120 to 185cm).  Width: 4' to 8' (120 to 245cm).

USDA zone 4b through 10b.  Can be used for garden, hedge or shrub.  Very hardy.  drought resistant.  shade tolerant.  Disease susceptibility: very disease resistant.  Prune after flowering is finished.  Remove unproductive wood every third year or so.  This rose blooms on old wood.  

This rose was grown in my test garden for five years to evaluate its overall performance and was deemed to be a superb shrub for a low maintenance garden. It exhibited superior disease resistance in a no-spray test garden and has been winter hardy to the cane tips. As do most Gallicas, 'Gallicandy' suckers but not far from the parent plant: it makes an easily contained thicket.
