A vase-shaped bushy deciduous shrub, Rosa glauca is noted for its fragrant single- pink rose-pink flowers with yellow stamens in the late spring. Flowers give way to orange-red hips that persist throughout the winter. The hardy rose features exceptional blue-gray foliage mixed with burgundy and purple in full sun and silvery gray-green in part shade. Flowers and hips are attractive to butterflies and birds.

Good disease resistance. Tolerant of poor soil. Best foliage color is in part shade but best flowering and disease resistance in full sun. Avoid overhead watering. For best flowering, apply mulch in balanced fertilizer in the early spring. Prune in the late winter.
