Banshee, High Country
Shrub (Alba or Damask), origin very old.
We’ve called this shrub Banshee for years, but Denver rosarians tell us it’s something else. For now, we’ll call it "High Country Banshee". Exceptionally fragrant, clear pink, very double blooms cover this bush in early summer. Small, dark red hips and purple foliage add interest in fall. Height 6 to 10 feet, even in light shade, with excellent hardiness.

“Hattie Burton”  Climber.  Found.  A very hardy climber grown near Jensen, Utah since the 1920’s, the blooms are full, deep pink to cherry red and fragrant. The massive early summer display is followed by occasional repeat bloom and large hips. The sturdy canes can reach up to 15 feet in Zone 5!
