Double, violet-red, very fragrant blossoms that appear in
a large flush in early summer, and then repeat all summer,
followed by large, scarlet hips. This plant grows about 6
feet tall and develops a vase-like shape making it suitable
to grow by itself. Very reliable and winter hardy. A favorite
with many of our customers because it reminds them of the
roses their grandmothers grew. Winter hardy to Zone 3.

What's a "bareroot" plant?
 "Bareroot"
is a term that describes how a plant is shipped to you. A
bareroot plant is not in a pot, and is usually dormant (not
actively growing). See the photo to the right that shows what
a bareroot rose looks like. The bareroot plants that we ship
to you were harvested in the fall and placed in cold storage
over the winter to keep them dormant. In the spring, we ship
the bareroot plants to our customers, from early April through
mid May.
Bareroot plants are easy to grow. We include planting instructions
with your order. When you receive your plant, take it out
of the packing material and place it in a bucket of water
so that the roots are completely covered. Let the roots soak
for 4 to 24 hours, then plant it in your garden. Full planting
instructions with photos are available on our Planting
Roses page.
