Overview
Cantabrigiensis is a large shrub rose raised by Hurst around 1922. It carries pale yellow flowers with only a light scent, and it can eventually grow to about 2.5 m (8 ft) tall and just as wide, so it needs generous room at the back of a border or as a free-standing specimen. It holds the RHS Award of Garden Merit, given in 1994, which makes it a sound choice for UK gardeners wanting an early-style species-type shrub with soft colouring.
