I have two of Snow Pavement and I love them. Flowers continuously, sweet scent, and makes better cut, though not traditional long stemmed, flowers than one would think. Mine have gotten a solid 3 feet high and wide with some suckering. Hips are a bit more orange than red. The foliage is gorgeous. These are very full shrubs without “bare legs”. Most importantly is that it has been tip hardy in zone 5, even in a winter where 6 other roses rated for zone 4 died to the ground in my garden. Pollinators love it and has not been troubled by sawfly despite some neighboring roses having sawfly damage.

Snow Pavement is tip hardy for me in zone 4 and is a beautiful 4ft shrub that constantly puts on pretty pale colored blooms. I would call them more lilac-toned than pink though. The pale green foliage makes a nice contrast to the very dark leaves on the roses on either side (Lambert Closse and Rose de Rescht) and it’s thorny enough to put in the corner of the yard to deter unwanted traffic.

Intriguing hint of lavender color, & good rose scent. Fully hardy in Z4a, it began suckering before it bloomed! Compact & healthy.

I bought this rose this year and it’s already looking like an established shrub, 3’ tall and flowers a lot! The flowers are such a beautiful color, too. The leaves are healthy and the plant is vigorous and strong.

We have five of these in our front yard, which is at the top of a steep hill. These “pavement” roses have grown to about 6 feet tall and are COVERED with blooms in late May. The second flush gets hammeredy by Japanese beetles every year; maybe the nematodes I put out will help this time.
The flowers are mostly in the top two or three feet of the bushes, which have spread and merged together. I think that’s because deer browse on the lower branches pretty much every night.
The fragrance is enveloping, a fabulous treat. These plants are super hardy, as we get slammed by north winds on our hilltop in the winter in SE PA.
Totally recommend these roses (and High Country!)
