PGNE Report Card
Category
Grade
Why
Landscape Impact
A-
The coral flowers and fragrance make it strong near paths, patios, and front beds, but it is not large enough to carry a big planting alone.
Growth Rate
B
Its moderate pace is useful for small spaces, though it will not give instant mass like faster shrubs.
Maintenance
B-
It is easier than many old-style roses, but pruning, watering during dry spells, and cleanup still matter.
Deer Resistance
D
This is not a shrub we would count on in heavy deer routes without protection.
Small Space Fit
A
Its compact habit makes it a good fit where larger flowering shrubs would crowd walks or windows.
Screening Value
F
Buy it for flowers and fragrance, not for blocking views.

Customers Usually Ask
Does it smell like a real rose?
Yes, fragrance is one of the main reasons to choose it.
Can I use it in a container?
Yes, if the pot drains well and you keep watering consistent.
Is it a hedge rose?
No, use it as a flowering accent, not a screen.
Why Choose Roses for Your Landscape?
Long-Lasting Blooms: Many roses flower in repeat cycles, providing consistent color from late spring through fall.
Fragrance & Classic Beauty: Roses offer iconic flowers and, in many varieties, a strong, unmistakable scent that elevates any garden.
Versatile & Landscape-Friendly: Perfect for borders, foundation plantings, cut gardens, and containers—roses fit nearly any design style.
Shrubs Grown to Perform in New England
At Pro Growers of New England, our shrubs are grown and maintained locally to perform in true New England conditions. From flowering varieties to evergreen foundation plants, each shrub is properly spaced, pruned, and cared for to develop strong root systems and balanced structure before it ever reaches your landscape.
Unlike large online sellers that ship plants long distances, we invite you to visit our nursery, walk the rows, and inspect the exact shrubs available. You can see the size, health, and fullness in person — ensuring there are no surprises upon delivery.
The two gentlemen that did the arborvitae installation were absolutely excellent. They listened to exactly what we wanted, mapped out the spots, and worked quickly and thoroughly to get it done. Outstanding work!
Top notch service and product quality. I didn’t know what to expect seeing the ads on Facebook, so I went to the greenhouse. They had a wonderful variety of products and a very helpful staff. The delivery and installers were fast, neat and friendly. Pro Growers will be me go to for now on!
