The ‘Chinook Sunrise’ Hardy Rose is a Canadian shrub rose from the Artist series, recognized for its great hardiness and luminous blooms. It forms a compact shrub with an upright and dense habit, producing an abundance of semi-double flowers in warm apricot-yellow hues delicately shaded with coral pink. Its glossy dark green foliage offers excellent disease resistance and highlights the changing brilliance of the flowers from early summer until the first frosts. Ideal for mass plantings, borders, or as a specimen plant, it brings softness and warmth to arrangements in full sun. Very cold-tolerant, the ‘Chinook Sunrise’ Hardy Rose is perfectly suited for northern gardens seeking performance, color, and minimal maintenance.
