Description
Rosa ‘Canadian Shield’ offers continuous-blooming, semi-double, classic red flowers on compact shrubs hardy to zone 3! The flowers are self-cleaning. Plants can reach 5 feet high and 4 feet wide. The 49th Parallel series is bred at the Vineland Research and Innovation Centre in the Niagara region and represents new breeding from the genetics of the cold hardy Parkland (Morden), Explorer, and Canadian Artist series. All roses are genetically tested for the presence of a black-spot resistant gene before being planted out in their test fields with high disease pressure. Only the most disease resistant and beautiful roses are released to the Canadian gardening public.
