Family Rosaceae

Powerful and reliable, the hardy rose 'Top Gun' is distinguished by its abundant flowering of single scarlet-red flowers, often slightly shaded with pink, with a bright golden center. It produces continuous flower clusters from spring until frost, offering exceptional performance even in difficult conditions. This rose forms a sturdy bush 100 to 120 cm tall, with glossy dark green foliage, particularly resistant to diseases, including black spot and powdery mildew. Very hardy (zone 3-4), it tolerates heat, drought, and urban environments well. Ideal for low hedges, durable borders, slopes, and public plantings, 'Top Gun' combines resilience, floridity, and easy maintenance—a true garden champion.
