Redleaf rose

The single rose blossoms range from a pleasing pastel pink to white. But this is a rose grown as much for the gorgeous red hips that persist much of the year, and its dark purple foliage color that provides a wonderful foil to the silvers and greens that dominate our xeriscapes. This hardy blooming shrub thrives just about anywhere providing graceful presence with no effort, beautifying the dry garden all year around. Read more here.

Tips from the pros: These hardy roses look their best and require little to no maintenance when given enough room to grow. Occasional pruning is desirable over the years if dead canes appear. Do not deadhead so that the showy hips will be produced.
