Antique Rose Emporium Penelope

This is a vigorous grower that matures to a height of approximately 8 feet. Because of its dense habit, it works particularly well as a privacy hedge or a structural element in a garden bed.

Yes, Penelope is a reliable repeat bloomer. You can expect consistent waves of flowers from the initial bloom through the end of the growing season.

This variety is known for having a heavy, divine fragrance. It is one of its standout features, making it an excellent choice for planting near walkways, patios, or windows where you can enjoy the scent.

After the final blooms fade, the shrub produces fat, orange-pink rose hips. These remain on the plant throughout the fall and winter, adding color and texture to your landscape when most other plants are dormant.

Penelope thrives in USDA Hardiness Zones 6 through 10. If you live within this range, the plant should be hardy enough to survive the winter and return each spring.

An own-root rose is grown from a cutting rather than being grafted onto a different rootstock. This generally results in a more resilient plant that stays true to its variety and is less likely to produce unwanted suckers from the roots.
