Also known as Rosa rubrifolia,
this is a beautiful rose, with its foliage being the main
attraction. In full sun, the leaves takes on a dusty mauve
color, and in shade, they turns a greyish-mauve. Even the
canes are a mauve color. The uses for this rose in the landscape
are unlimited. Its single blossoms have a star shaped form,
and are a dark pink on the outside with a whitish center.
The blossoms are fragrant and are followed by by bright red
hips that stay on the plant all winter. And, speaking of winter,
the reddish-violet canes of this rose add lots of winter interest.
Very disease tolerant and completely winter hardy.

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 plant 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.
