Northern Bayberry makes an excellent hedge or feature shrub. It will retain its leaves in warmer climates but drops them in colder areas. They produce blue-grey berries that have a wax coating on them that can be used to make candles or soaps.

In colder hardiness zones the leaves turn an attractive orange to red colour in the fall, making it a striking addition to your landscape.

Northern Bayberry is native to Nova Scotia and tolerates both drought and wet conditions. It is also a nitrogen fixer that tolerates poor soil conditions.

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.
