Agnes (Shrub Rose)

(Rugosa). A very vigorous plant with spreading branches bearing pale amber-yellow blooms about 7.5cm across, which are full and scented. Recurrent. Shows its parentage with its dark green crinkled foliage and finely prickled stems. Hardy and tolerant of poorer soils and shade. Suitable to be grown in a container or as a hedge. A very useful rose where a yellow shade of the Rugosa type is desired and this is one of the few yellows within this family. Bred by Saunders.
