Water Saving Tip:

Replace turf with groundcovers, trees, and shrubs. If you have areas where no one uses the grass, patches that do not grow well, or a turf area too small to water without runoff, consider replacing the turf with water-efficient landscaping.

  • Description

  • Notes

This rose forms a small, dense mound with stiff, prickly stems that form a nearly impenetrable barrier. Grows about 4 to 5 feet tall and wide or wider. Foliage is bright green, heavily crinkled, and disease resistant. Ruffled-petaled flowers are cranberry red and slightly fragrant. Flowers are borne in clusters. Primary bloom occurs in late spring to early summer, though they tend to repeat bloom. An excellent hedge or border. Also available in a white and red form.
