Description

A truly red landscape rose - believe it!

Oso Easy® Urban Legend® landscape rose seems to always be in bloom during the season. Exceptionally disease resistant, it has been a real standout in our no-spray rose trials, both in a production setting and the landscape. Bright red double flowers really pop with the contrasting yellow stamens. Dark, glossy green foliage and a dense, rounded-upright habit make for a great addition to the landscape. Developed in the UK by Chris Warner.
