Variegated Dogwood is a small shrub that is often used in the first row of a shelterbelt, as a hedge, or for soil stabilization projects. It has the same distinctive red bark, white flowers, and berries as Red Osier Dogwood.

The key difference between the two is the leaves. Where Red Osier's leaves are green throughout, Variegated Dogwood has a white outline around each leaf, giving this shrub a distinctive look.

The Morden Centennial Rose is a showy flowering shrub with hot pink double-flowered blooms and yellow centers. This shrub has dark green and glossy foliage, which turns yellow in the later fall months and exhibits bright red rose hips.

The Morden Centennial Rose is a popular variety due to its high disease resistance and brilliant color.
