Hope For Humanity
It's hard to think about roses blooming the same day you
Minnesota-tip all of your beauties, but this rose deserves
a second thought. Hope For Humanity is a dark-red Parkland
shrub, introduced in 1995. It is named in honor of the 100th
anniversary of the Canadian Red Cross. The ARS rates it at
8.0. It has two big blooms during the growing season, with
clusters of medium sized double blooms. Being from Canada,
it's hardy here in zone 4 and grows upright to 6-10 feet.
Some say it can grow up to 22 feet, but only in warmer climates.
