| Felix LeClerc Canadian Bred, Winter hardy Shrub Rose |
| Felix Leclerc is one of the first two roses to be released under the Canadian Artist Series of Roses. When Agriculture Canada gave up the popular Explorer and Parkland series of roses a group of nurseries took over the existing plants not yet released and carried on the work. Now, after several years they have started releasing some new roses from the old program. Oh, just another pink climbing rose you say, well this pink can catch your eye from quite a distance. I like to call it "electric pink". A semi-vigorous climbing bush that doesn't overtake a trellis like John Cabot or William Baffin. It's foliage is a nice, medium green and it has a very good resistance to blackspot and mildew. Very good re-bloomer. Felix Leclerc's arching habit makes it ideal for growing as a low climbing rose (7-8') when bud grafted or a nice 6' on it's own roots. Felix Leclerc takes a couple of growing seasons to get strongly established, but performs exceptionally well once established. Winter hardy to zone 3. Like all modern climbers it loves it's sun and nourishment so give it plenty and it will thrive in any cold Canadian climate! We have three year, own root bushes $21.95 each. potted or bare-root in April & early May |
| Bred from tow breeding lines woth came from Rosa Kordesii, REd Dawn and Suzanne. A sibling seedling of Explorer rose "Capt. Samuel Holland" relased in 1990. |
