Family Rosaceae

The ‘Aurora Borealis’ hardy rose is a Canadian shrub rose from the 49th Parallel series, known for its luminous blooms and excellent hardiness. It forms a compact, dense, and slightly rounded shrub, producing an abundance of semi-double flowers with evolving shades from coral pink to apricot salmon, sometimes enhanced with golden nuances at the center. Its lustrous dark green foliage shows excellent disease resistance and highlights the changing colors of the flowers that bloom continuously from early summer until the first frosts. Ideal for mass plantings, borders, or as a specimen plant, the ‘Aurora Borealis’ hardy rose brings warmth and sophistication to full-sun northern gardens.
