Robust Roses!

Roses come in various shapes, sizes, colors and foliage patterns ranging from small to large roses, such as the Morden Blush to the John Davis varieties: heights ranging from 0.5m to 2.75m. Ideally roses need at least 6 hours of sun and the soil should be well drained with annual additions of organic matter.

We offer over 30 different varieties of Hardy Shrub Roses, some of which include:
Winnipeg Parks Rose: Has a dark green foliage and medium to large deep pink blooms 0.75m tall and wide.

Morden Fireglow Rose: Has an orange-red flower and is quite small at only 0.6m tall and 0.3m wide.

J.P Connell Rose: Has a double, creamy yellow colored flower. 1.5 m tall by 1 m wide.
