Overview
Hertfordshire is a low shrub rose from Kordes, introduced in 1991. It reaches only around 0.45 m (18 in) high but spreads to about 1 m (3 ft), so it covers ground more than it climbs. The flowers are pink with a light scent. The RHS gave it the Award of Garden Merit in 2002. Use it along path edges, at the front of a bed or on a gentle bank where a wide, short rose is wanted.
