We planted a Morden Centennial from a gifted rose about 3 years ago just about 5 feet behind and off to the side of our mailbox near the street. We grow it as a freestanding shrub. The blooms from this rose while not fragrant in my experience seem to glow from within during the golden hour and it is a joy to see. The pink is striking almost a hot pink and the fat orange hips that it produces slowly fade to reddish-orange and look amazing left on the plant. I do one strong pruning mid-season in my Zone 5 garden on this rose after the second flush to keep it somewhat contained and the bottom half strong for the prairie winds due to no windbreaks where it is located but otherwise let it get as big as it wants. It’s about 6′ across at least and 4′ tall and very tough. Highly recommended for cold areas. I have staked a few of the longer canes towards the bottom half in advance of the windstorms that mark the changes of the season just to be on the safe side so we get more flowers but remove them once summer finally arrives.

I do wish you would give the Latin name immediately and the zones it can grow in immediately upon looking up this rose, instead of hunting for it. You should do that with all your plants.

Hi Joel, thanks for your reviews. Do note that the cold hardiness Zone rating is listed in three places; on the tag, on order paperwork, and on the individual product webpage. We try to make that information easily accessible. As for Latin names, we include the Latin name with the Species Roses and occasionally the Old Garden Roses when it is meaningful. With Modern Roses, the Latin name is typically just Rosa and then the variety name. In this case Rosa ‘Morden Centennial’. I made the choice not to include it because all we sell are roses and it seemed a little repetitive. Thanks again, Matt
