Flowering shrubs provide privacy along a border, attract pollinators, and provide color and interest without the need for yearly replacement.
That’s why we asked our gardening experts for some pink flower bushes. Here are a few names:
- Yuki Cherry Blossom Deutzia
- Azalea
- English Rose
- Ninebark
- Rose daphne

Yuki Cherry Blossom Deutzia
When it comes to choosing a flowering bush, it should be something that can thrive both in full sun and partial shade. And Yuki Cherry Blossom Deutzia is up for it.
It’s a small pink flowering bush that’s less than 2 feet tall and wide and can grow with or without direct sunlight’s exposure.
Unlike other flower bushes, Yuki Cherry does not need to be pruned more often. Just make sure to prune it right after flowering to have a perfect bloom of its pink flowers.
To have better growth, you just need to lightly fertilize it in the spring after the frost has gone. And the best part is you don’t necessarily need to use a chemical fertilizer as it’ll thrive also using organic methods.

Bougainvillea
The flowers of a bougainvillea plant come in different colors, and one of the prettiest among them is pink. Bougainvillea flowers are delicately thin and papery to touch.
You can grow this plant as a vine or bush. It thrives better in warmer climates, as the harsh winter can hinder this plant from blooming to its full potential.
Bougainvillea loves full sun, and once the roots are established, it is tolerant to drought. Deepwater your bougainvillea plant once every 3 weeks. If the branches go wild, prune each by a few inches.
Azalea
Blooming in spring, the azalea is a sight to behold with its stunning small flowers that come in different colors, such as pink, red, and yellow, and green foliage.
Azalea loves cooler weather. Although this shrub likes full sun, it thrives better in partial shade, which allows the flowers to lean more towards the sun and last longer.
Keep the soil of your azalea plant moist, not too dry nor excessively wet. You can apply at least two inches layers of mulch to keep your plant in its best shape.

Autumn Inferno Cotoneaster
With a potential height of 5-6 feet and a width of 4-5 feet, this bush is a real gem to have in the garden. It requires medium watering and won’t struggle with less water.
It’s easily pruned and has brilliant forms. It has excellent foliage throughout every season and colors that are hard to miss.
In the fall, you can see tiny red berries on the stems of the bush. You can either prune it or let it thrive naturally.
English Rose
The English Rose is a popular favorite among our clients. The flowers are simply gorgeous, with durable, soft pink colors and a musky rose smell that will make you feel relaxed and free.
If you’ve just planted your English Rose, make sure to regularly water it and keep it moist. Once they’ve started growing and are all set, you can turn to a more moderate waiting schedule.
Any rose fertilizer is suitable. This type of rose is more resistant to pest-related diseases, but it’s worth inspecting the plant once in a while.
Summer Wine Ninebark
This plant can reach heights of 5-8 feet tall, offers unique dark purple foliage, and thrives in direct sunlight.
It’s not too picky and will do well in almost any type of soil. It needs at least 6 hours of sun daily to grow healthy and strong.
It’s not necessary to water it every day, but it does prefer moist and well-drained soil. Once it’s in its adult phase, it can do fine in dry soil too.
