Chosen for AARS honors in 1978, 'Color Magic' bears pink flowers which surely stand apart from the plethora of pink roses available to gardeners.  Large, double blossoms bear 25 to 30 light pink petals which intensify as they mature; it is not unusual to see blooms which have dark outer petals surrounding light pink inner petals, providing the rose with a definite 'two-tone' color effect. 

Blooming continuously throughout the season, 'Color Magic' bears flowers both as singles and in clusters.  Growth habit is upright, and the large, semi-glossy leaves are disease resistant. 

Unfortunately, 'Color Magic' is not winter hardy, so northern gardeners should seek another pink rose for their gardens.
