Mauve or mauve blend Shrub.
Registration name: WILjoeg
Exhibition name: Joe Grey ™

Bred by J. Benjamin Williams (United States, 2002).

Shrub.  

Mauve or purple blend.  None to mild fragrance.  4 to 11 petals.  Average diameter 0.75".  Medium, single (4-8 petals), in large clusters bloom form.  Spring or summer flush with scattered later bloom.  

Medium, arching, bushy, well-branched.  Small, matte, medium green foliage.  

Height: 3' to 4' (90 to 120cm).  

USDA zone 6b through 9b (default).  Can be used for garden, hedge or landscape.  Remove spent blooms to encourage re-bloom.  Spring Pruning: Remove old canes and dead or diseased wood and cut back canes that cross. In warmer climates, cut back the remaining canes by about one-third. In colder areas, you'll probably find you'll have to prune a little more than that.  

Arched habit of growth with numerous branches, plant and bloom similar to R. multiflora.
