Lady Elsie May®
2005 AARS Winner - Lady Elsie May® masses the landscape with a profusion of coral pink bloom from spring through autumn. Deep rosy, coral-colored buds open to delicately scented flowers generously dispersed throughout the plant. The deep color unfurls to a rich coral pink blush with a rown of golden stamens in the center. Lady Elsie May® gives the added bonus of late season bloom producing cascading fountains of coral color onto the landscape.
The prolific bloom is outdone only by the lush, waxy green foliage that remains on the shrub throughout the growing season demonstrating its resistance to black spot and other common rose plagues. Lady Elsie May® is quite at home in both mass commercial or residential plantings showing tolerance to a wide range of environmental stresses.
Lady Elsie May® is a worry-free addition to the landscape. Hardy in USDA zones 5 through 10, this handsome shrub stands 30 to 36 “ tall with a spread of about three feet. A vigorous grower, the shrub serves as an excellent screen or under story plant as well as a single specimen in the garden or on the patio.
