The Canadian Shield Rose (Rosa BBRosa950 ‘Canadian Shield’) is an ultra-hardy shrub rose bred for extreme cold tolerance. It is celebrated for its brilliant, non-fading scarlet-red, semi-double to double flowers. The blooms have a light, sweet fragrance and are presented against rich, glossy green, disease-resistant foliage.

Growth & Size

This variety exhibits a dense, upright, and robust growth habit. It forms a compact, manageable shrub, reliably reaching a mature size of about 1.2 meters (4 feet) in both height and width.

Additional Notes

It blooms continuously from late spring until frost. Exceptionally winter-hardy (to USDA zone 2 / -40°C) with excellent black spot resistance, it requires minimal care. Its patriotic color and rugged resilience make it an ideal choice for low-maintenance hedges, foundation plantings, or as a vibrant, enduring specimen in tough northern landscapes.
