robusta

robusta blooms in profusion with eye-catching, single, red, 4” blooms with 5-8 petals. her clusters are produced in abundance on a vigorous, continually blooming, upright bush with beautiful, medium-green, glossy, leathery foliage. the thick canes are covered with nail-like prickles which makes robusta an excellent fence, hedge, or impenetrable barrier. she thrives in colder zones and needs little care to thrive and grow.
