Country Dancer Buck shrub rose (Rosa 'Country Dancer') is another of the very hardy, repeat-flowering roses hybridized in Iowa by Griffith Buck, Ph.D. (1915–91), a professor of horticulture at Iowa State University. Its rose-red buds open to reveal rose-pink double flowers on a plant that will repeat-bloom from mid-June until the first frost. This cultivar tops out at 3 to 4 feet in height; sports dark green, leathery leaves; and is covered with large rose hips from late fall through winter. This cultivar became commercially available in 1973.
