Description:
'Betty Prior' grows quite tall for a Floribunda, to four or five feet. Combine this height with continuous bloom, and you have a rose ideally suited for the back of the perennial or mixed border. 

Medium pink with five petals, the flowers are reminiscent of dogwood blooms (although dogwood flowers have four bracts instead of five petals).  Resistance to blackspot and mildew is excellent.  Growth habit is somewhat upright, and the clusters of blooms are held six to eighteen inches above the foliage. 

Introduced in 1935 and still one of the best after more than sixty years.
