Campfire Floribunda Rose

Campfire is a standout floribunda rose from the Cold Hardy Rose Collection and the Canadian Artist Series, bred through a collaboration of Canadian rose experts to thrive in even the harshest northern climates. Cold hardy to Zone 3, this variety blooms heavily from late spring to mid fall, producing small, showy clusters that create a remarkable kaleidoscopic color display. Its red and yellow buds unfurl into 3-inch semidouble blooms that open a vivid yellow, mature to warm medium pink, and fade toward cream—all while maintaining deep pink margins. The result is a constantly shifting palette on a single shrub, and the flowers make striking cuts for cheerful, multicolored bouquets.

Compact and easy to incorporate into any garden, Campfire grows as a small bush with a moderate growth rate and a moderately spreading habit. Its good disease resistance and exceptional cold tolerance make it especially valuable for gardeners in colder climates who still want reliable rose performance. Floribundas are known for their versatility, and Campfire excels in landscape plantings, garden beds, low hedges, borders, and even containers. Pair it with perennials like salvia, yarrow, or ornamental grasses to highlight its ever-changing hues and extend seasonal interest.

Campfire thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, responding well to regular watering during establishment and seasonal feeding to support its continuous blooms. Light spring pruning—removing dead or crossing canes and shaping as needed—encourages strong new growth and abundant flowering. Thanks to its resilience and playful color transitions, this hardy floribunda brings movement, warmth, and charm to gardens of all sizes, all season long.
