Rosa moyesii Common Name: Moyes Rose Moyes Rose is an interesting shrub rose, combining a variety of pleasing attributes of foliage, flower color and fruit. The rather open, vase shaped plants have thick, gracefully arching canes with fine, feathery foliage. In midsummer the plants adorn themselves with generous clusters of 5 to 8 cm single red blossoms with a lovely contrasting yellow anther at the center of each flower. Just as eye-catching as the flowers are the large, shiny, orange-red hips that drip from the branches from late summer through autumn. This variety can be pruned to shape and can grow 1.8 to 3 meters high without support. They make outstanding specimen plants or grow them as beautiful flowering hedges. Quite hardy to -28°C. 5 Seeds |
Rosa davidii Common Name: Father David's Rose Father David's Rose is a lovely shrub rose with soft, scented pink flowers.

An upright and vigorous growing variety to approximately 3 meters high and 1.5 meters wide. Like all shrub roses, these are widely recognized for their low maintenance, pest and disease resistance, fragrant blooms and hardiness.

Rosa hugonis Common Name: Father Hugo Rose This rose bush earns its space in the garden with its early bloom, lovely color and graceful habit. It is one of the earliest of the shrub roses to bloom in spring. The plant will be literally covered with hundreds of 5cm blossoms in a lovely shade of soft yellow. Because they occur on short stems, the blooms outline the branches and highlight the plant's arching and graceful habit of growth. The young twigs are also covered with smooth mahogany colored bark which contrasts effectively with both the flowers and the fine textured, soft green foliage. 5 Seeds |
Rosa rubrifolia Common Name: Red Leaf Rose This shrub rose variety produces tiny, one inch, bright pink single flowers early in the spring. However, we don't grow this variety for the flowers but for its beautiful foliage and hips. The foliage has a very obvious reddish caste to it throughout the summer which turns even redder in the fall. It produces a great abundance of orange/red hips in the fall which look wonderful against the reddening foliage and stay on the plant all winter long. Rosa rubrifolia is a large, upright shrub that will easily reach 1.8 to 2.4 meters in height. 8 Seeds |
