Flowering Raspberry

The Morden Blush Rose has white flowers with shell pink overtones with a tea-like scent. The double-flowers bloom in spring and summer, emerging from distinctive pink buds. The foliage is dark green and glossy, turning yellow in the fall, with tomato-orange rose hips.

The Morden Blush Rose is popular for its cold-hardiness, and is also resistant to disease.

The Flowering Raspberry is an ornamental shrubby plant that blooms with fragrant light purple flowers throughout the summer and has a large, decorative foliage of bright green leaves. The flowers resemble that of a wildrose, and the foliage turns a bright yellow in the fall. This cultivar produces small red raspberries, similar to that of a thimbleberry, but the fruit is mostly tasteless.

The Flowering Raspberry, also known as Virginia Raspberry or Purple-Flowered Raspberry, makes a great hedge plant and is a good choice for attracting birds to your yard.
