Rosa glauca (rosa rubrifolia) or the Redleaf Rose is one of the most cold hardy, with gracefully arching, almost thornless, reddish coloured stems.
The fragrant flowers appear in clusters of four to six blooms and are simple, open faced, pink with white centres and prominent yellow stamen.
They are very striking and amongst the most attractive of the original species roses.
The foliage is dusky, cinnamon to grey/green coloured with hints of purple.
This vigorous rose will easily fill an area of 2.5mx2.5m or more if you let it.
