Products > Rosa 'Cocktail'   Rosa 'Cocktail' - Shrub Rose    [2nd Image] Habit and Cultural Information Category: Vine Family: Rosaceae (Roses) Origin: Garden Origin Evergreen: Yes Flower Color: Red Bloomtime: Spring/Summer Height: Climbing (Vine) Width: 4-5 feet Exposure: Full Sun Irrigation (H2O Info): Medium Water Needs Winter Hardiness: <15° F Rosa 'Cocktail' (Shrub Rose) - Flowering continuously through summer, this bright rose has clusters of single golden-eyed cherry-red flowers that age so the red intensifies and the yellow fades to cream. The character of the plant is that of an upright shrub, 6 feet tall by 4 ft. wide, with thorny stems and numerous green, deeply serrated leaves. It can used as a hedging rose or can also be used as a stiff climber growing to 8 ft. or more supported by a fence or other plants. This tough disease resistant rose was once more common in gardens and is ready to make a comeback.  The description above is based on our research and observations of this plant growing in our nursery and in our own and other Santa Barbara gardens. We would appreciate hearing from anyone who has additional information or disagrees with what we have written.     [MORE INFO]
