A Guide to Shrub Roses

A perfect choice for our northern climate.

Prolific and full of fragrance, these resilient roses are Canadian born and bred

Shrub Roses are hardy, tough, disease resistant and yet, very easy to grow. They are prolific bloomers and have a spicy rose fragrance. With an average growth height of 5’ tall and 4’ wide, they make terrific hedges, create a wonderful backdrop or work well as specimen shrubs. Many of these are Canadian born & bred so you can be sure they thrive in our Northern climates.
