Rose of the Month ~ April
2004
Winnipeg Parks
As a"Parkland" rose, Winnipeg Parks proves itself
to be a hardy shrub with beautiful blooms. It was introduced
in 1990 and the ARS has given it a 7.7 rating. Its pointed
buds open to cupped, deep pink-red semidouble blooms of medium
size. The plant is medium sized with medium green foliage
that has a reddish tinge when young. Although the blooms don't
last long, they repeat well through summer and autumn. My
experience has been that it is disease resistant and will
survive with relatively little winter care. Let us know your
