This is an archive page preserved for informational use.   [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 be 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. A great old rose but we finally have moved on and no longer sell it.  The information on this page is based on our library and online research as well as observations made of this plant as it grows in our nursery, in the nursery garden and in other gardens that we have visited.
