Overview
Wild Thing is a shrub rose bred by Zary and introduced in 2007, with purple-red flowers that carry no scent. It grows to roughly 1 m tall and 1 m across, a compact size for a mixed border or the front of a shrub planting. The RHS gave it the Award of Garden Merit in 2012, and it holds UK plant breeders' rights granted in 2008. Choose it for colour rather than perfume; if fragrance matters, plant a scented rose nearby.
