Western Sand Cherry
Hazeldean Rose

Western Sand Cherry is known for its unique, leathery grey-green foliage and beautiful white blossoms. It is a popular ornamental shrub in parks and front yards. Both you and the wildlife will love its edible small dark red to purple cherries.

Due to its small stature and spreading qualities, Western Sandcherry is suitable as an underplanting or groundcover.

Many people graft plum and cherry varieties to Western Sand Cherry and use it as rootstock. It is also popular to graft hardy apricots to.

Hazeldean Rose is a perfect shrub for those who enjoy cut flowers. It blooms vigorously in late spring to early summer and is smothered in fragrant yellow double blooms that attract bees. The Hazeldean Rose is extremely cold weather hardy, making it a rare yellow rose well suited for the prairies. Resistant to blackspot, the Hazeldean Rose got her name from Robert Burns' poetry as it is "the prize of them all".
