Overview

Fruit Punch is a shrub rose bred by William J. Radler and covered by US plant patent PP26791 (2016, registered as 'Radsouththree'). Its single flowers carry about five petals in a changing mix of pink, coral, red and yellow, and the patent gives a very small bloom of roughly 0.7 in (1.8 cm) with no scent. Plants stay near 3 ft (91 cm) tall and spread 3 to 4 ft (0.9 to 1.2 m). The patent notes observations on black spot, powdery mildew, downy mildew and rust. A fit for gardeners who want color in a low shrub planting rather than fragrance.
