Rose

Old Gayhill Red China

Practically moments before Oleanders became almost impossible because of disease, a variety came out on the market called Oleander Petite Cherry. Everybody was real excited! But, it can’t be grown these days. What’s the exact same color and growth habit? A landscape rose (out of antiquity) called “Old Gayhill Red China”. A long name- but let me translate it for you: Year-round cherry red flowers, loves inland and desert heat (but great anywhere) hardy to below zero, and drought tolerant when established. Rarely needs pruning, and is very low maintenance. 2-3’ all-around.
