Overview

AC William Booth is a Canadian shrub rose by Ian S. Ogilvie, patented in the US in 2000 as PP11629. It has simple flowers of about 5 petals in deep red to pink, around 1.5 to 2.4 in (4 to 6 cm) across, with a light scent. The habit is wide rather than tall: about 3.3 ft (1 m) high but spreading to roughly 6.5 ft (2 m), which makes it useful for covering ground or slopes. The patent notes resistance to black spot and powdery mildew in the breeder's trials.
