Rosa glauca

Description

We view this the aristocrat of all flowering shrubs. It's majestic, graceful, extravagant in its appeal. On arching 6-foot stems with pewter-blue foliage, the especially fragrant single pink flowers are succeeded by abundant red-orange hips. In late season, the very last leaf fallen, the towering purplish stems linger ornamentally aristocratically. Dramatic, pretty and fragrant, gather up these roses for a headily fragrant gift for your neighbors. Best in full sun and rich soil.
