Soft pink flowers to 1.5” across cover the dark green disease resistant foliage throughout the growing season on Rosa ‘Meipotal’ Carefree Delight® shrub rose. The summer and fall displays are complemented with bright red shiny hips from late fall through winter. This cultivar is completely hardy in the Chicago area without the need for mulches or other protective coverings. Ultimate height is 5’ high by 4’ wide. This cultivar roots easily where ever the arching canes come into contact with the soil which can significantly increase the landscape impact of this rose due to the creation of 'daughters', each also 4' wide. Once established, the thorny canes are not often eaten by rabbits.
