Part of the Canadian Explorer Series, 'Champlain' (1973) was bred by Felicitas Svejda for extreme hardiness (Zone 3). It is a Hybrid Kordesii shrub that forms a dense, rounded mound 3–4 feet tall and wide. It produces clusters of medium-sized, semi-double, velvety dark red flowers with a light fragrance, blooming continuously from June to frost. The foliage is exceptionally disease-resistant, especially to black spot. Its compact habit, non-stop red blooms, and ironclad hardiness make it a top choice for cold-climate landscapes and low hedges.
