Tall, stately plants are the epitome of grandifloras -- and Queen Elizabeth is truly the queen of this rose classification. This could be considered an instant rose -- all you have to do is plant it and add water. Often used as a shrub, this rose can produce enormous candelabras of coral shaded pink blooms if dramatically pruned. Lightly pruned it will provide a vast display of cutting size sprays. Queen Elizabeth is extremely hardy and disease resistant.
