The compact shrub roses come in four bloom colors, each punctuated in the center by a deep, saturated hue: Calypso (pinkish red and yellow with red/pink center), Peach (soft peach with red/pink center), Ruby (ruby pink with red/pink center) and Yellow (golden yellow with orange/red center). Sweet Spot roses were carefully bred to capture a distinct flower appearance with a multitude of contrasting color combi- nations that continuously change as the flowers age. Topping out between 16 and 24 inches high and 16 to 20 inches wide (depending on the color), each plant is a prolific bloomer with flowers forming continuously during the flower- ing season (spring to fall). In addition, the color variations within each bloom add the perfect touch of vibrant color in any garden, patio or container. Zone Range: 5-11 LI
