Rosa ‘J. P. Connell’

Pot size #2

Part of the explorer series of roses. A multi-stemmed deciduous shrub that has an upright, spreading growth habit. This variety is a compact rose that is ideal for small landscapes. The roses that bloom are a lemon yellow color, fragrant, and are double blooms that will mature to a creamy white color. The roses are on long yellowish-green canes that will continuously re-bloom until late Fall. The foliage is a dark green color and becomes yellow in the Fall.

This is a high maintenance shrub that will require regular care and upkeep. Best pruned in late winter. It will grow to be about 4 ft in maturity, with a spread of 3 ft. It does best in average to evenly moist conditions, but will not tolerate standing water. Once established will be drought tolerant.
