Products > Rosa 'Cocktail'   Rosa 'Cocktail' - Shrub Rose Note: This plant is not currently for sale. 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.  This description is based on our research and observations made of this plant as it grows in our nursery, in the nursery garden and in other gardens that we have visited. We will also incorporate comments received from others and always appreciate getting feedback of any kind from those who have some additional information about this plant, in particular if this information is contrary to what we have written or if they have additional cultural tips that would aid others in growing Rosa 'Cocktail'.     [MORE INFO]
