Description
Rosa Meidomonac is a bushy, spreading shrub rose with dark, glossy foliage and broad sprays of lightly scented, semi-double pink flowers. The display repeats from late spring into autumn, followed by ornamental orange-red hips that can remain into winter.
Its low growth fits hedges, flowering borders, containers, and ground-cover plantings. Plant in full sun in humus-rich, moist but well-drained soil, mulch in late winter or early spring, and feed again in early summer.
The stems bear prickles that can scratch skin, so wear gloves when handling or pruning.
