Common Snowberry is a small deciduous shrub with characteristic white to pink flowers and clusters of white fruit.

This North American native species is very adaptable, and can be used for erosion control in riparian and restoration areas. Snowberry's fruit attracts wildlife, and livestock can consume the berries without issue.

The Morden Amorette Rose is a flowering hybrid shrub that is a compact grower, with bright reddish-pink blooms. The double-flowered blooms are lightly scented. This shrub blooms from late spring to late summer, and has glossy green leaves that turn yellow in the fall.

The Morden Amorette Rose is popular as it is fairly disease resistant, and is a vigorous grower.
