Morden Sunrise Rose
Smooth Rose

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.

The Smooth Rose is a hardy shrub and is nearly-thornless. This plant is a vigorous grower that is covered in the summer with fragrant, pale pink and white flowers. In the fall, this shrub produces bright-red rose hips that are high in Vitamin C making them great for syrups and preserves.

The Smooth Rose, also known as the Meadow Rose or Prairie Rose, is great for attracting bees and other pollinators to your garden.
