Because of their performance in Wyoming, we’re big fans of the Parkland series of roses developed at the Morden Research Station in Manitoba, Canada. The Morden Centennial is from this group and it does not disappoint. The name commemorates the centennial of the Town of Morden, which occurred the year of introduction. This is the tallest Morden rose with lightly scented flower clusters of double, hot pink blooms with a yellow center. Blooms from late spring to fall. Excellent for cuttings. Good resistance to powdery mildew and black spot. Requires moist well-drained soil. Drought tolerant once established.
Throughout this site, the following are used as guidelines for watering established plants:
These truly xeric plants can live with our 12 inches of natural annual precipitation and only need a winter watering during a multi-year drought, but they will thrive with a monthly watering. Overwatering will kill some of these. These plants are adapted to intermittent deep
watering with soil drying to a depth of a few inches between waterings. Watering frequency may be every couple of weeks during the active growing season and maybe only one winter watering for optimal care. These plants need regular watering somewhat like a bluegrass lawn so that
they never dry to depth in the root system during the active growing season, and need occasional winter watering to prevent root dessication and resultant plant
death. About sizes of our plants:
Sizes indicated with a # are roughly the equivalent in gallonage; so a #2 is about a 2 gallon pot size; b&b stands for balled and burlapped.
