Cosmic Clouds Shrub Rose

Although this lustrous, new rose forms a large, 6-7' tall shrub in colder growing zones, it can be trained as a climber in Zones 8-9 and reach even greater heights! Cosmic Clouds yields innumerable blooms that form in medium to large clusters of 3-10 out-of-this-world flowers. The luxuriant, 2½-3" blossoms are rich, velvety pink with a white reverse, and they're brimming with 75 to 85 petals each. Blooms emit a strong, fruity fragrance that entices bees, butterflies and other beneficial pollinators. Fabulous as a hedge and for cutting. Excellent resistance to downy and powdery mildew, and rose rust.
