A Family Business
Rose growing has been in the Campbell family since 1970, when the
High Country Rosarium was founded in Denver by Dr. Bill Campbell
after he had spent a decade collecting and testing many varieties of
old garden roses in the tough climate of Colorado. In the 1980s, Bill’s
daughter, Melinda Campbell, helped manage the business. Around
the same time, Bill married avid rosarian, Linda Douglas Campbell. In
1995, Dr. Bill’s daughter and son-in-law, Heather Campbell and Day
DeLaHunt, took over management of the business and moved operations to their nursery in Utah. In the fall of 2011, the business moved
back to Denver where it is now being managed by Linda’s son, Matt
Douglas, and his wife Jennifer. The business has grown over the
years, but we are proud that it has stayed in the family and continues
to be a high-quality small business offering superior roses.
History of Roses
The development of the rose is closely tied to the history of civilization, from prehistoric time through the Roman Empire, the Middle
Ages and the Victorian Era to the present. Old Garden Roses are defined as those introduced to cultivation prior to 1867 and include
early European roses as well as the original rose species found in
nature. Their extraordinary forms and fragrances are often matched
by great vigor and hardiness. Modern Roses were developed by
crossing European roses with China and Tea Roses from the Far East,
which, though more tender, brought the characteristics of repeat
bloom and greater color selection to rose breeding. We specialize in
the early roses, as well as many of the exceptionally hardy shrub ros-

es developed in recent years which provide the wonderful qualities of
low maintenance, repeat bloom and high landscape value. This catalog lists over 270 varieties, including many cold-hardy roses developed by Agriculture Canada and a selection of smaller landscape
shrubs for gardeners interested in more compact varieties and lots of
colorful, repeat bloom.
Own Root Roses
All of our roses are grown on their own roots, which means that they
are grown directly from cuttings and not grafted onto a different
rootstalk. In cold climates, roses on their own roots tend to be not
only hardier, but also to remain true to the original variety should
they die back in winter. On the following pages you will find an overview of rose classes and our listing of rose varieties within those classes. We appreciate your interest
in High Country Roses and look
forward to working with you.
Happy Gardening!

Introduction
Introduction
Classes of Roses The thousands of varieties of roses available today
are categorized into rose classes, according to their
history, parentage, and growth habits based on American Rose Society (www.ars.org) guidelines. Those categorized as “Old Garden Roses” represent types known
in cultivation prior to 1867, the year in which “La
France,” the first hybrid tea, was introduced.
As roses freely produce varied offspring and the
ancestry becomes more complex, the class lines often
overlap, and many roses can appropriately be placed
in more than one class. Our groupings on the following pages are intended to help you select roses according to their hardiness and growth habits. We have
organized our catalog into three primary categories:
 Species Roses (starting on page 2)
 Old Garden Roses (starting on page 4)
 Modern Roses (starting on page 11)
Please note that a complete alphabetical listing of all
of our roses can be found in the index starting on page
31.
Earth Song (page 11)
A Note on Hardiness
Plant hardiness is difficult to quantify since so
much of a rose's success is dependent on
local temperature fluctuations, soil types,
wind, snow cover, and individual care. In our
rose descriptions, the hardiness zones refer
to the U. S. Department of Agriculture Cold
Hardiness Zones, which are based on a region’s average minimum temperature. See
the map to the left or visit the US National
Arboretum’s excellent Web site for lots of
useful and interesting information:
www.usna.usda.gov/Hardzone/index.html.
Most of our roses are hardy to at least Zone
5 (-20° to -10° F), with many hardy in colder
Zone 4 (-30° to -20° F) or Zone 3 (-40° to
-30° F). We carry a few tender roses for growers in milder climates or for those who want
to grow roses in containers. Rose growers in
all zones will want to check with local Rose
Societies, the American Rose Society, county
extension offices, and/or other nearby
sources for tips on successful growing in
their unique local conditions.

Species Roses
Species Roses
These are the original rose varieties found in
nature from which all the others have been
bred. They are vigorous bushes that generally thrive on neglect and tend to be exceptionally hardy. The flowers are usually single
(with only five petals) and commonly appear
only in spring and early summer. They carry
their fertile hips into the winter, providing
food for birds and winter color. The year given indicates when the rose was first known in
cultivation.
Rosa banksiae lutea
Rosa acicularis, Species (1805)
This is the rose found farthest north on the planet and is circumpolar in
its range. Excellent in harsh, exposed sites, this rose has fragrant, light
pink single blooms all along dark red canes in spring, red hips in fall.
Height varies from 3 to 7 feet.
Zone: 2, Bloom: No repeat, Fragrance: Moderate, Cost: $14.95
Rosa arkansana, Species (1880)
Native to the Central U.S., this shrub has deep pink blooms followed by
red hips in fall. Low, suckering growth from 1 to 4 feet tall make this an
ideal shrub for soil stabilization and wildlife habitat.
Rosa banksiae lutea (Lady Banks Rose, Yellow),
Species (1823)
Known as the famous rose from Tombstone, Arizona, "Lady Banks" is a
vigorous, thornless rambler for warm climates, often climbing to over
20 feet. Clouds of small, yellow blooms in spring.
Zone: 7, Bloom: No repeat, Fragrance: No fragrance, Cost: $14.95
Rosa blanda (Hudson’s Bay Rose, Labrador Rose),
Species (1773)
A North American native, this very hardy rose bears large, single, fragrant rose-pink clusters of blooms in spring. Height and spread 6 feet
with nearly thornless canes and red hips in fall.
Rosa canina (Dog Rose), Species (prior to 1737)
A classic rose often found in old hedgerows across Europe and central
Asia. Blooms are pale pink to white and are borne in spring, singly or in
clusters of 2 to 5 flowers. It grows as a large shrub with arching canes
reaching from 3 to 15 feet, depending on climate. After the petals drop,
shiny red hips, high in Vitamin C, are formed which are used to make
Rosa acicularis

Rosa spinosissima ‘Altaica’, Species (1820)
Rosa hugonis (Father Hugo, Golden Rose of China),
Species (1899)
Single yellow blossoms cover this bush in early spring. Ferny foliage on
thin, brown, arching canes makes this a nice background shrub. Very
hardy and drought resistant, reaching to 9 feet tall. Vase shaped.
Rosa moyseii, Species (1894)
A large, sprawling shrub with distinctive red or pink flowers in spring
and large, flagon-shaped hips. Best used as a background shrub.
Height to 10 feet.
Rosa nutkana (Nootka Rose), Species (1876)
Western North American native shrub. Flowers are pink, single and
solitary rather than clustered. Blooms in early summer. The bush is vigorous and thick growing to 5 feet. Rounded hips persist on the bush
well into winter.
Rosa pomifera (Apple Rose), Species (1771)
Best known for its very large, red, flavorful hips. Single, clear pink flowers with light fragrance and large gray-green leaves are outstanding in
spring. It forms a large shrub, reaching 6 to 7 feet in height and width.
Creamy white blooms with showy, bright yellow stamens cover the
canes for several weeks in late spring. The blooms and dark green,
ferny foliage are similar to Rosa spinosissima, but ‘Altaica’ is taller and
more vigorous, reaching from 4 to 7 feet in height. Produces beautiful
maroon, globular hips for fall and winter color. Tolerant of poor soils
and disease resistant, this is an early flowering shrub for the landscape.
Rosa wichuraiana (Memorial Rose), Species

Old Garden Roses
Old Garden Roses
Old Garden Roses are the classic old-fashioned roses developed in England,
Europe, and the Middle East prior to the introduction of roses in China and
the Far East in 1867. They typically are very fragrant, bloom heavily in spring
(though some repeat bloom) and are most often found in shades ranging
from white and pale pink to burgundy. Also known as “Heirloom” or “Antique
Roses,” the following classes of roses are within this grouping:




Centifolia Roses
Alba Roses
Damask Roses
Gallica Roses
Roses with Large
Showy Hips
If you don’t trim the spent blooms
off your roses they will develop
seeds, which they carry in hips.
Some varieties develop especially
large and showy hips, brightly
colored in orange or red. These
can add interest in the winter, or
can be used in recipes (they’re
high in vitamin C). Wildlife ranging
from birds to deer are attracted to
the hips. The following roses develop excellent hips:

Rosa eglanteria

Centifolias
The Centifolias were made famous by the Dutch painters of the 17th Century. Referred to as “hundredpetaled” roses, or Cabbage Roses, they are one-time bloomers noted for the fullness and size of their
flowers. Normally tall shrubs with arching growth, a few are compact with smaller blossoms. All are
very hardy.
Burgundian Rose
(Pompom de Bourgogne),
Centifolia (1664)
A miniature Centifolia with deep pink to violet
double blooms with a paler pink center and
button eye. Fragrant, 1½ inch blooms in early
summer. The bush forms a dense 3 feet tall by
3 feet wide mound with small, dark green
leaves, attractive in the landscape even when
not blooming.

Fantin-Latour
Old Garden Roses
Alba Roses
The Albas and their hybrids are known as the “White
Roses” of Shakespeare, though their blossoms range in
color from pure white to shades of pink. They are vigorous, hardy and very disease resistant. Their fragrant,
abundance of blooms in spring are often followed by
showy, red hips that persist through winter. Bluish-green
foliage and upright growth habit make them a fine
backdrop for other roses.
Blush Hip
Alba Maxima, Alba (prior to 1867)
Rosa Alba Maxima is a rose of aliases and is also know as The
Jacobite Rose, Maxima or Great Double White. In early summer
this rose produces very double blooms of pure white that carry a
rich fragrance. Alba Maxima may reach heights of 6 to 8 feet and
widths of 4 to 5 feet. This is a classic jewel in the garden.
Zone: 3, Bloom: No repeat, Fragrance: Strong, Cost: $16.95
Alba Semi-plena, Alba (prior to 1629)

white blooms. Gray-green foliage on a bush reaching 6 to 9 feet, with
oblong, red hips in the fall.
Alba Suaveolens, Alba (prior to 1750)
Fragrant, semi-double white flowers in spring mature to large red hips
in the fall. Reaching 10 to 12 feet tall and 6 feet wide with bluish-green
foliage, this self-supporting, shade tolerant shrub makes a fine backdrop for the garden.
Alba Semi-plena
Alba Suaveolens
Madame Plantier, Alba Hybrid (1835)

Old Garden Roses
Damask Roses
These hybrids of Rosa damascena, are among the most ancient of
garden roses. Cultivated by the Romans, they might have died out
in medieval times but for the European monasteries that grew roses for medicinal purposes. They are known for fragrance and abundant June flowering. Historically, the petals were used for making
potpourri and rosary beads. Damasks grow in an upright and airy
form, until the weight of the blooms causes the canes to arch over.
Blush Damask
Autumn Damask (Quatre Saisons),
Damask (prior to 1819)
This lovely Old Garden Rose bears a heavy flush of richly fragrant, clear
pink, double flowers in June followed by a light repeat bloom in fall.
Reaches 5 feet tall and 4 feet wide with light green foliage.
Zone: 4, Bloom: Slight repeat, Fragrance: Moderate, Cost: $14.95
“Banshee, High Country,” Shrub, Alba or Damask
(Unknown Origin)
We’ve called this shrub Banshee for years, but Denver rosarians tell us
it’s something else. For now, we’ll call it "High Country Banshee." Exceptionally fragrant, clear pink, very double blooms cover this bush in
early summer. Small, dark red hips and purple foliage add interest in
fall. Height 6 to 10 feet, even in light shade, with excellent hardiness.
Blush Damask, Damask (1759)
Large- petaled, very fragrant, double flowers with light pink blush and
deep pink center. Forms a dense, upright shrub to 7 feet tall.
Hébé's Lip, Eglanteria (Painted Damask)
(Lee, prior to 1846)
A lovely, unusual Old Garden Rose, probably a cross between a Damask rose and Rosa eglanteria. Clusters of semi-double cream-colored
blooms are edged in pink and have a rich, musky fragrance. Blooms in
early summer on a shrub reaching 5 to 6 feet in height. Attractive red
hips in fall.
Hébé's Lip
Madame Hardy, Damask (Hardy, 1832)
Very double soft white flowers with a green button eye and wonderful
fragrance. Blooms in late spring. Stiff, spreading canes with rich green
foliage. Height 4 to 6 feet.
Drought Tolerant Roses
A rich, loamy soil is ideal, but if
that’s not available, then add compost to your planting area and
mulch the soil surface to help even
out changes in temperature and
moisture. Soil conditions vary
greatly, affecting the amount of
water plants need, but some varieties are able to withstand more
drought than others. Some of
these roses include:

Rosa glauca

Rosa hugonis
La Ville de Bruxelles, Damask (Vibert, 1849)

Rosa spinosissima
The richly fragrant, very double, deep pink blooms are among the largest of the Damask roses. Light green, glossy foliage on a leafy, rounded bush to around 4 feet in height and width.

Gallica Roses
Like the Damasks, the Gallicas were also known from ancient Rome and survived the fall of that empire by becoming naturalized wherever they had been planted.
They became very popular in France in the 19th century
and many new varieties were developed. They are known
for their purplish-red hues and tendency to sport blossoms with stripes, hence the expression ‘The Mad Gallicas.’ Very hardy, they tolerate poor soil and neglect. They
spread by suckering, but are not invasive. The dark green
foliage often turns a lovely purple-red in the fall.
Roses that Grow Well in the Shade
Roses prefer at least six hours of full sun a day to bloom well. Here in the arid,
high elevation west, some afternoon shade can be helpful, but in general, try to
locate your roses where then can receive sun most of the day. These are a few
varieties that are more tolerant of shade, but even those roses need at least four
hours of sun daily.

Old Garden Roses
Moss Roses
The Moss Roses are sports of Damasks and Centifolias, bred mostly in
the mid-eighteen hundreds, though the type was recognized as early
as 1696 in France. Named for the mossy appearance of the tiny hairs
on flower buds and sepals, they are hardy roses with an upright habit
and fragrant blossoms.
Communis (Common Moss, Old Pink Moss),
Moss (known since 1696)
Found in many old cottage gardens, the extremely fragrant, clear pink
3 1/2 inch blooms are very double with 'mossy' sepals. Upright growth
with arching canes reaching 5 to 7 feet tall.

The Bourbon Roses first appeared in the early 1800's on the Isle of
Bourbon (now Réunion) in the Indian Ocean. They were the probable
offspring of the China and Damask Roses used to edge farmers'
fields. They bear large, full, fragrant blooms that generally repeat
throughout the season. Most are hardy in Zone 5, though can survive
in colder climates with protection.

Modern Roses
Modern Roses
Though many of our “modern roses” may seem quite old, the term is used to denote roses hybridized after 1867 when the first Hybrid Tea, “La
France,” was introduced. Early Hybrid Teas were developed by crossing European roses with China and Tea roses from the Far East, which,
though more tender, brought the characteristics of repeat bloom and greater color selection to rose breeding. The roses we know today often
have very complex parentage as efforts are made to produce roses that bloom continuously, are fragrant, and come in myriad colors. The following groups show a sampling of the diversity that is available to rose growers today.

These offspring of the species Rosa rugosa are valued for their
great hardiness, fragrant, recurrent bloom and often, large, showy
hips. The characteristic rugose foliage is deeply veined and crinkly

spraying and possible damage to the foliage. Most varieties prefer
sandy soils and are salt tolerant. They dislike heavy clay and alkaline
soil, though they will thrive if soil is amended with compost.

Medium and Large Shrub Roses
Coming from a wide range of origins, the shrub rose category includes a variety of roses with diverse characteristics that do not easily fit into any other particular class.
Rose hybridizers may cross old roses with modern varieties to achieve a blend of fragrance, repeat bloom, and
exceptional hardiness. As a rule, shrub roses have excellent landscape qualities and can be used as ornamental
shrubs, specimens, in masses or as hedges outside the
formal rose garden.

Harison’s Yellow, Shrub (1930)
Stanwell Perpetual, Hybrid Spinosissima (Lee, 1838)
This rose was brought west by the Forty-Niners and was passed along
to family and friends. It is still found on old homesteads, surviving with
little water and care. Bright yellow blooms cover arching canes in early
spring. Reaching 5 to 6 feet with ferny foliage and an upright habit, it
will produce suckers and form a briar clump if allowed.
An old-fashioned favorite with very double, pale pink, quartered flowers repeating through the season. Spreading canes form a densely
mounded shrub to 5 feet tall.
“Jeremiah Pink,” Shrub, Alba (Unknown Origin)

Modern Roses
Climbers and Ramblers
These roses vary from tall self-supporting shrubs to flexible-caned
plants that need to be trained to climb. They include large-flowered
climbers as well as ramblers that have large sprays of small blooms. All
can be trained to grace a wall or a fence with a solid display of blooms
or can form stunning pillars. As most bloom on lateral shoots, for the
best display bend the canes to grow diagonally or horizontally.

blooms edged in red. Continuous blooming. The U.S. name, "Kiss of
Desire" was coined by noted rosarian Bill Grant. It comes from a lovely
old Irish poem: "I gave my love a cream-white rosebud, With a flush at

Ordering Information
The Roses
Our roses are grown and shipped to you in quart (946 cc) size pots, 4½
inches square at the top and 5 inches deep. All are grown on their own
roots and are 1 to 2 years old, growing in a peat-based soilless potting
mix. We over-winter them in cold greenhouses and they may be
dormant or leafed out, depending on when they are shipped. Since
they are growing in containers, they can be planted as soon as you
receive them, or stay in their pots for a few days until you are ready.
Planting instructions will be included with your shipment of roses.
How to Order
When to Order
We try to maintain good supplies of our roses throughout the year.
Due to the vagaries of rose propagation, some varieties may be ready
to ship in the fall rather than spring, so check with us about our current availability. You may place an order at any time for a future ship
date and we will notify you when the roses are ready.
