Winnipeg Parks Rose

Planted July 31, 2025
in the backyard by the back fence. 

I think the rose bush 
 at the other of the flower bed is also a 
Winnipeg Parks Rose.

Winnipeg Parks Rose will grow to be about 3 feet tall at maturity, with a spread of 3 feet. 

This shrub should only be grown in full sunlight.

This rose is highly ornamental and will turn red in the fall. The fruits are showy red hips displayed from mid to late fall. I often deadhead the roses but will leave them from this point forward in order to benefit from the rosehips.

This bush has cherry red flowers, dark red-tipped foliage, red hips, is excellent for cutting and is 

a tough, long-blooming, fragrant rose.

Yukon Sun Rose

 Planted in a garden space in Norglenwold  with a good southwest exposure. 

Planted summer 2024.

Yukon Sun is a shrub garden rose, growing up to 75 cm in height by close to a metre in width with a semi-upright growth habit.  The vibrant yellow semi-double flowers (7.6 cm) bloom continuously throughout the entire growing season.  Plants are highly resistant to black spot disease.  They are cold hardy to -35C when most of the top shoot dies but regrows well again in the spring.

As in all other rose varieties, Yukon Sun does not like waterlogged soil but

 requires watering during dry spells to have good blooms.  It self-cleans, 

meaning the spent flowers shed petals, keeping the plants tidy with fresh 

growth and new flowers.  Plants are resistant to blackspot disease and do not 

need to be covered during the winter.  Prune this rose in the early spring or 

fall to give the bushes the desired shape.

USDA Zone 3B to 8

I moved this rose, not sure when exactly, but think it's the rose by the back fence now.  It has done very well and has all the characteristics of the Winnipeg Parks Rose.  Although it could be the rose in the front garden-to be determined.

This is my second Emily Carr Rose bush.  The first one was planted in our home in Red Deer and thrived in a sunny bed.  This new bush has been planted in a Northwest facing bed at the Lakehouse in Norglenwod on Sylvan Lake, but due to the openess of the yard should 

receive ample sun.

Grandma Bolton's Rose Bush

This rose bush holds special meaning to a Calgary family.  Grandma Bolton's rose bush was moved from Grandma Bolton's farm to a starter home first in SE Calgary, then to the family's second home in the same neighborhood and now recently moved with the family of five to their new home in Mount Royal.  It is holding it's own and appears to have handled nicely the transition to it's new location once again.  It should be blooming soon.

Early summer 2017

Wild Rose

Wild rose bushes are abundant in the wild areas surrounding the cabin at Sylvan Lake.  The pictures below were taken in late June this year (2014) and indicate that the blossoms have been out for a while and are almost done.  This shrub, which can grow up to 15 metres tall, is renowned for it's prickly stems, beautiful  pink flowers and nutritious rosehips.  The wild rose is Alberta's provincial flower.

Hot tea made from wild rose petals and leaves or a cold "julep" made from soaking fresh petals with an equal amount of cool water then lemon juice and honey are wonderful drinks that many also enjoy.

 

The bright red rosehips have an applelike flavour and are very high in vitamin C.  Rosehips are best picked immediately after the first frost and can be make into jams, syrups and jellies.
