Shrub rose plant named Winnipeg Parks

Abstract

A new and distinct low-growing variety of shrub rose plant is provided which forms attractive relatively large medium-red blossoms which commonly are borne singly or in small clusters having reflexed sepals. The variety exhibits a slightly spreading growth habit, combines winter hardiness and everblooming characteristics, and commonly assumes a height of approximately 0.5 to 0.8 m. The new variety propagates well by the use of softwood stem cuttings, and is well adapted for growing as colorful ornamentation in the landscape.
