This extremely disease resistant ground cover rose is ideal for garden, containers or mass plantings. No spraying or fancy pruning required! They flower June through late Fall. Available in bold pink, red, white, soft yellow (butter coloured) and apricot, there is a colour for everyone. I have 'Pink Supreme' in my yard and I can attest to ground cover roses being tough as nails and reliable performers. I under plant them with bright blue annuals and the combination is
eye-popping! Grows 24 to 32 inches tall.

Peek at these Perennials
Our perennial department is absolutely glorious right now with so much colour bursting forward! Our heuchera selection has just been supplemented with fresh stock recently arriving from a reputable grower. The limes and bronzes and marmalades are popping out ready to be tucked into planters. Did you know how many different types of bleeding hearts we carry? Come and see the variety as early spring is when these hardy perennials shine! Oh, and the bergenias! They are also approaching their prime with tall spikes of pink blooms. I feel every West Coast garden needs at least some bergenia as they are very tough, evergreen, they bloom, they provide winter colour, they are drought and shade tolerant, etc. I could go on but you get the idea. Each year try to add a few perennials to your outdoor space as they will last you many years and only improve with age!
