Ken Nobbs Shrub Roses

Ken, a nurseryman of Te Kauwhata, New Zealand was the co-founder of Heritage Roses. A book has been published to celebrate his important contribution to roses. Most of Ken Nobb's roses are named after early New Zealand pioneers. There is another web page of Ken's ramblers.

The Active Single blooms of attractive pale apricot that fade to white. Always in flower. A much admired bush, named after Samuel Marsden's first sailing ship. A great rose for a hedge. Believed to be bred from Mutabilis. 1.5m.
