Martha Gonzales Rose

Rosa ‘Martha Gonzales’ is a charming, semi-evergreen shrub rose known for its bright scarlet, flat-faced flowers that cover the plant during the growing season. The bushy shrub is disease-tolerant and features neat foliage with a distinct dark red tinge and is an excellent choice for low hedges or borders. Named after a Navasota gardener whose display of roses included ‘Mrs. Dudley Cross’ and ‘Old Blush,’ ‘Martha Gonzales’ is popular for mass plantings and large drifts due to its striking appearance.
