Aurora Borealis™ Rose

Aurora Borealis™ Rose from the 49th Parallel Collection combines exceptional hardiness with stunning repeat blooms. This compact shrub produces abundant clusters of mauve-purple flowers with a white “eye” and a light fruity fragrance from early summer through fall. Its glossy, dark green foliage provides a striking backdrop, and its tidy, bushy habit makes it ideal for northern gardens, containers, hedges or mixed borders. Exceptionally disease-resistant and long-blooming, Aurora Borealis™ brings reliable colour to Canada Zone 3–7 landscapes.
