'Emily Carr' Shrub Rose

Hardy Rose ‘Emily Carr’ (Rosa ‘Emily Carr’). The hardy rose ‘Emily Carr’ is a Canadian shrub rose from the Artists series, recognized for its exceptional hardiness and abundant blooms. It forms an upright and dense shrub, producing a profusion of bright scarlet semi-double flowers, grouped in generous clusters. Its glossy dark green foliage shows excellent disease resistance and highlights the vibrant flowers that appear continuously from early summer until the first frosts. Ideal for mass plantings, low hedges, or as a specimen plant, it brings structure and vivid color to full-sun landscapes.

To plant the hardy rose ‘Emily Carr’, choose an appropriate exposure: full sun. The recommended soil is: rich, well-drained. Water at the base and allow air to circulate between the branches. Remove dead parts with a clean tool, then prune according to the rose's group. Winter protection depends on its hardiness and the potential presence of a graft union. Water the root ball before planting and ensure water can drain after planting. During establishment, check the soil moisture by hand before watering again.

Allow a width of 1 m (3.3 ft) to arrange the space for this plant in the garden. The indicated height of 1 m (3.3 ft) helps choose its position relative to neighboring plants.

If considering a container, first ensure its volume and drainage are suitable for root development. Roots in pots are more exposed to cold than those planted in the ground.
