The Gipsy Boy rose produces clusters of deep red blooms that mature to violet-purple. The flowers are medium in size and full in form, with a delicate scent. You can expect this shrub to reach 3′-5′ in height, with wrinkled foliage. This is a bushy plant with arching tips and can either be used as a shrub or a boundary hedge. For gardeners looking for a more winter hardy rose or one that can tolerate some shade, this is a serious contender.
