  • 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.
