Redleaf Rose, Red-Leaved rose, Rosa ferruginea, Rosa rubrifolia, Shrub Roses
One of the most cold hardy roses, Rosa glauca is a fabulous medium-sized shrub rose that can be relied on to provide interest and color. The foliage of this shrub rose is quite exceptional, a mix of blue gray shades with delicate overtones of burgundy and purple when in full sun, turning to silvery gray-green in part shade. The upright and gracefully arching reddish stems, almost thornless, are another ornamental feature of this vigorous and healthy rose shrub. In late spring to early summer, slightly fragrant, single, pale-centered, deep rose-pink blossoms, 1.5 in. wide (4 cm), with prominent yellow stamens, are held in small flat clusters along the plant’s arching frame. As an extra bonus, they are followed in late summer by crops of orange-red hips that persist well into winter, adding interest and color to the winter garden. R. glauca was introduced prior to the 1830s.
