Developed at the Morden Research Station (1972) for the Parkland Series, 'Morden Centennial' is a superbly hardy (Zone 3) shrub rose. It forms a dense, rounded bush 3–4 feet tall and wide. It bears clusters of medium-sized, double, medium pink flowers with a light, sweet fragrance, blooming heavily in June and repeating reliably through summer. The foliage is very disease-resistant. Its compact habit, cold hardiness, and dependable performance make it a staple for northern gardens, foundation plantings, and low hedges.
