Developed at the Morden Research Station in Manitoba, 'Morden Blush' (1976) is a cornerstone of the Canadian Parkland Series, bred for extreme cold hardiness (Zone 3). It forms a compact, rounded shrub 2–3 feet tall and wide, covered in clusters of delicate, semi-double, soft blush-pink flowers that fade to near white. The blooms have a light, sweet tea fragrance. Its dense, glossy foliage is highly resistant to blackspot and powdery mildew. This tough, reliable rose is perfect for northern landscapes, low hedges, or foundation plantings.
