More information
The Parkland rose series was developed for severe Canadian winters and is cultivated in a range of climates. Members of this series vary notably by climate: for example, Morden Amorette remains under 50 cm in Manitoba’s cold conditions, but reaches 3 m in southern California. The flowers are bright pink with a purple tinge and a white central spot. The petals are white on the underside; with age, the tips fade to cream. Blooms appear singly or in clusters of up to 7. Morden Amorette has fine foliage and is disease resistant in dry climates, but in Canada can be affected by powdery mildew and black spot. Removing the fading flowers from the first bloom improves flowering. In Canada it forms a low, compact shrub; in hot climates it grows into a tall, loose shrub. Susceptible to black spot. May freeze in harsh winters.
