Coral Miracle On The Hudson™ Rose

Talk about a showstopper! The Coral Miracle On The Hudson™ Rose (Rosa 'RIPfirst') is a compact, mounded Rose bush with an explosion of bright coral-orange blooms that just keep coming. This fragrant flowering bush is a repeat-blooming Rose with clusters of semi-double flowers from late spring until frost. Not only do the blossoms dazzle the eye, but their gentle scent adds another layer of delight to the garden.
