'Carefree Wonder' does not bear flowers which can be considered first class in form; I prefer  'Carefree Delight', a rose with bushier habit and more delicate blooms than 'Carefree Wonder'.  These reservations stated, 'Carefree Wonder' is a rose of many strengths.  Disease resistant and cold hardy to -15 degrees Fahrenheit, 'Carefree Wonder' produces masses of blossoms throughout the entire season.  Bloom production is truly prolific, and orange hips will be produced in Fall.

Flowers are bright pink, with a creamy reverse.  Semi-double to double, with 25-30 petals, the flowers are lightly fragrant.  Growing four to six feet in height, 'Carefree Wonder' makes a good hedge or background plant.  The medium green foliage is disease resistant.
