Shrub & Bush Roses

Welcome to Wingard’s Shrub & Bush Roses

Typical shrub roses have tall, arching canes, and are generally tall, shrubby plants with many blooms. Generally, they reach 4 to 12 feet tall and wide, depending on the variety.

All shrub & bush roses are delivered bare root in January, potted and ready for sale/pickup in March. They may be purchased online and picked up in store, and tend to sell out quickly.
