Description

A bushy evergreen shrub 4' high and 6' across with narrow, gray-green leaves and complimentary clear pink flowers. Flowers appear in great profusion in mid-spring and can continue well into summer. More refined in character than most other rockroses, and well-suited to smaller gardens. Greece. -Native Sons Nursery
