'Hawkeye Belle' Roses

Introduced - 1975

One parent of 'Hawkeye Belle' rose is the grand grandiflora rose named 'Queen Elizabeth', which is the original rose in its class. Nurseryman Griffith Buck undertook a succession of crosses with 'Prairie Princess' (also created by him) and developed roses like the grandiflora roses which bear flowers similar to that of hybrid tea roses, but are very much hardier.

'Hawkeye Belle' created by the nurseryman is a healthy landscape shrub whose flowers are also similar to that of hybrid tea rose. This shrub rose produces long, pink hued buds that unfurl into large, double, white blooms having an azalea pink flush.

The individual flowers measure about 4 ½ inches (11.5 cm) across and are heavily fragrant. The flowers appear in abundance over a prolonged season. The 'Hawkeye Belle' rose is a fairly compact shrub growing as a mound of up to 4 feet comprising flowers and foliage.
