Morden Sunrise Rose

Gray dogwood is a thicket-forming, deciduous shrub with greenish-white blossoms in open, terminal clusters. Young twigs are red and the fruit pedicels remain conspicuously red into late fall and early winter.

Fruit itself is a white, 1/4 in. drupe that usually does not remain on the shrub for long.

Great for naturalizing wild areas, this shrub attracts birds and other wildlife.

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.
