Overview & Description

Oscar Peterson Rose (Rosa x ‘Oscar Peterson’) is an elegant, hardy shrub rose from the Canadian Artist Series, prized for its semi-double, bright white blooms with showy yellow stamens. Peach-yellow buds open to reveal the pristine white flowers, which appear from late spring until frost. The deep green, glossy, disease-resistant foliage provides a beautiful backdrop, while the non-suckering, upright growth habit ensures a tidy, well-behaved plant.

Growth & Size

This variety exhibits an upright, compact, non-suckering growth habit. It is a moderate-growing shrub, typically reaching a mature size of about 30 – 36 inches in height with a spread of 24 inches.

Additional Notes

It blooms from late spring through fall (until frost). Hardy to Zone 3, it is disease-resistant and prefers moist, well-drained soil. An outstanding choice for borders, foundation plantings, mass plantings, small gardens, and Canadian-themed gardens where semi-double white blooms, yellow stamens, glossy disease-resistant foliage, and compact performance are desired.
