Morden Sunrise Rose

Black Hawthorn is a versatile plant that is native to wetlands and other areas with moist soils, but can also tolerate dry soils. This plant can be grown as a short shrub, or a tree reaching 30 feet tall.

Black Hawthorn is valued for erosion control and attracting pollinators. It also makes an attractive flowering ornamental that can be planted as a specimen or pruned as a hedge. It is commonly used in shelterbelts.

The Morden Sunrise Rose is a popular shrub due to its yellow blooms that fade to a peachy-pink later in the summer and fall. These double flowers are lightly-scented and emerge from distinctive orange flower buds. It has a compact habit of growth, making this a refined addition to your garden.

The Morden Sunrise Rose has glossy green foliage during the spring and summer months, with leaves turning yellow in the fall. It produces showy orange rose hips in mid to late fall, and is quite disease resistant.
