A splendid, midsummer-flowering hybrid of the species rose Rosa moyesii, Rosa Geranium is a large, vigorous, deciduous shrub rose with strong, thorny, arching stems and bright green foliage. In midsummer, it bears large, single, scarlet flowers with overlapping petals and golden stamens, and only a very light fragrance. The flowers are attractive to pollinators and are followed by big, elongated, flask-shaped red hips in autumn. This BIG rose can be trained as a climber, and is also very good as a shrub in a naturalistic planting. Rose Geranium has good disease-resistance and holds the RHS Award of Garden Merit.
