A closer look
Woods' Rose
Woods' Rose is already part of the nursery landscape. Its ability to form a patch is useful along trails or in a natural planting, but it is a different proposition from a rose chosen to stay as one isolated stem or compact named cultivar.
Common Ninebark
Ninebark's bark and branching give it interest outside the flowering season. The seed listing is the species, not a named purple or golden leaf garden selection.
