cupped bloom form

Named after the heroine of Thomas Hardy’s novel

Healthy rugosa foliage and wonderful red hips in the fall

great for mass plantings as the bush has a nice arching effect

It always looks beautiful around their building and when I was there 1 week ago (10/15/12) the plants where still covered in bloom

Colette Ground Cover cupped bloom formOld fashioned, salmon pink blooms with 134 to 140 petals. Strong tea rose fragrance, healthy, and hardy bush. This rose looks like it might be delicate and need some pampering but instead, it is hardy and tough. When other roses have suffered winter damage this rose will show no winter damage from cold weather. It has been growing vigorously in our zone 5 gardens for 10 years.
