About Eleganza® Buxom Beauty™ Bare Root Rose Bush
Rosa ‘KORbilant’ — Eleganza® Buxom Beauty™
🧬 Breeder: W. Kordes & Sons (Germany)
🌹 Introduced: 2001
🌹 A voluptuous Hybrid Tea with enormous magenta-pink blooms and an intoxicating fragrance worthy of its many international awards.
Eleganza® Buxom Beauty™ is a rose that lives up to its name. This striking Hybrid Tea produces exceptionally large, very double blooms in saturated deep magenta-pink, often touched with mysterious purple tones. Its dramatic flowers can reach 4–5 inches across, creating a bold garden display that's almost impossible to overlook.
And then there's the fragrance.
Buxom Beauty™ is intensely fragrant, with a complex perfume combining sweet and fruity notes with nuances of Old Rose, citrus, spice, and myrrh. Its fragrance has earned recognition at rose competitions around the world, making this an especially exciting variety for gardeners who believe a rose simply isn't complete without perfume.

Those accolades make Buxom Beauty™ an especially compelling rose for fragrance collectors. Its enormous flowers provide the visual drama, but its rich perfume is what turns this rose into an experience.
💛 Why Grace Rose Farm Loves It
Big flowers. Big fragrance. Absolutely no subtlety.
Buxom Beauty™ is for the gardener who wants a rose to make an entrance. The flowers are enormous, the magenta-pink color is saturated and dramatic, and the fragrance is powerful enough to stop you in your tracks.
We especially love that its perfume isn't one-dimensional. Notes of fruit, citrus, Old Rose, spice, and myrrh mingle together to create the kind of complex fragrance that makes you smell a flower once…and then immediately lean in for another.
For gardeners building a fragrance collection, Buxom Beauty™ belongs on the list.
🌿 Growing & Care Recommendations
Planting Site: Plant in full sun in well-drained soil.
Spacing: Allow approximately 2–3 feet for the plant to develop its naturally upright, bushy habit.
Watering: Water thoroughly after planting and maintain consistent moisture while your bare-root rose establishes.
Pruning: Prune in early spring to remove damaged growth, shape the plant, and encourage vigorous new flowering stems.
Cutting: Those enormous, fragrant Hybrid Tea flowers deserve to come indoors. Cut stems for bouquets where their color and perfume can be enjoyed up close.
Maintenance: Provide regular rose care throughout the growing season to encourage healthy foliage and repeated flushes of flowers.
