Bright Melody
Rosa 'BUC'
Prairie Clogger brings bursts of garnet-red color set against dark, olive green foliage making this shrub a striking addition to your garden. Her ruby red, ovoid-pointed buds open to single, shallow-cupped to flat 3” blooms with 8-10 petals which hold their color until they drop. The blooms are borne in clusters of 1-10 and have a pleasingly sweet fragrance. Her abundant, leathery foliage has copper tones when young and is tolerant of normal foliar disease. The vigorous, bushy, 3-4’ plant is erect and free-branching with abundant blooms from June until frost. The plants are winter-hardy in the midwest without protection.
