Overview

Shrub Rose - Frontenac

‘Frontenac’ produces double blooms in clusters of 6 to 8, repeating floriferously. The shrub is nearly completely covered with blooms at its’ peak in June, then repeat blooming continues through September. Deep pink blooms don’t fade out, these are excellent cutting flowers. Use for mass plantings, foundation plantings, shrub borders or a striking low hedge. With consistent snow cover, ‘Frontenac’ sustains only minimal injury to zone 3. Will survive to zone 3a without protection, further north protection is necessary. The plant propagates easily from softwood cuttings.
