About Fragrant Showpiece™ Lipstick Bare Root Rose Bush
Rosa ‘Noa16079’ — Fragrant Showpiece™ Lipstick
🧬 Breeder: Reinhard Noack, Germany
🌹 Rose Type: Fragrant Shrub Rose
💄 Rich lipstick-pink blooms, old-world romance, and a strong perfume on a compact, disease-resistant shrub.
Fragrant Showpiece™ Lipstick is exactly what its name promises: bold color and beautiful fragrance.
Perfectly shaped buds open into large, fully double flowers saturated in shades of rich reddish pink and lipstick red, softening toward hot pink as the blooms mature. Against glossy green foliage, the color absolutely pops.
But this rose wasn't bred simply to look beautiful.
Lipstick belongs to the Fragrant Showpiece™ collection from Noack, the German breeding family behind the famously tough Flower Carpet® roses. The collection was developed to combine the romance of large, old-fashioned, highly fragrant flowers with the health and disease resistance expected from modern rose breeding.
The result is a rose that's glamorous enough for the cutting garden but tough enough for the landscape.

💄 Why “Lipstick”?
This is one rose whose name makes perfect sense the moment it blooms.
The flowers open in an intensely saturated reddish-pink color reminiscent of classic lipstick, then gradually soften toward brighter pink tones as they mature.
Because flowers at several stages can be open simultaneously, one plant can display an entire palette of deep pink, reddish pink, and hot pink.
Pair that color with glossy foliage and the effect is anything but shy.
💛 Why Grace Rose Farm Loves It
Put on your lipstick. We're going gardening.
Lipstick has the kind of color that demands attention, but what really makes us love this rose is everything underneath those gorgeous flowers.
It's fragrant. Repeat blooming. Compact. Disease resistant. And excellent for cutting.
That's a pretty compelling list.
We also love the philosophy behind the entire Fragrant Showpiece™ collection. Noack took the durability and plant health associated with modern landscape roses and paired those qualities with something rose lovers desperately want back:
Big, romantic flowers that actually smell like roses.
Lipstick gives you both—and does it in a color that's impossible to ignore.
🌿 Growing & Care Recommendations
Planting Site: Choose a location in full sun with fertile, well-drained soil.
Spacing: Allow approximately 3 feet between plants for mature growth and good air circulation.
Watering: Water deeply after planting and maintain consistent moisture while your bare-root rose develops its new root system.
Pruning: Fragrant Showpiece™ roses respond well to a substantial annual pruning in late winter or early spring. Remove dead or damaged wood and shape the plant to encourage vigorous new flowering growth.
Deadheading: Lipstick is considered self-cleaning, but removing aging flowers can keep the plant looking especially polished and encourage continued flowering.
Cutting: Definitely bring this one inside. The combination of deep lipstick-pink coloring, full flower form, and strong fragrance makes it a natural choice for bouquets.
Cold Climate Care: Gardeners at the colder end of its Zone 5–10 range should protect the crown with an insulating layer of mulch after the ground begins to freeze.
