Mauve or mauve blend Shrub.
Registration name: Mohawk

Bred by Isabella Preston (Canada, 1926).
Introduced in Canada by Agriculture Canada, Ottawa, Ontario (Central Experimental Farm) as 'Mohawk'.

Shrub.  

Mauve or purple blend, white center.  5 petals.  Single (4-8 petals) bloom form.  Once-blooming spring or summer.  

Short.  Small foliage.  

Height: 2' (60cm).  

USDA zone 4b and warmer.  Hardy.  

Mohawk is a dwarf plant about two feet tall. The leaves are small and the single flowers are rather brighter than aster purple. No seed-pods are formed.

The wording in Isabella Preston's 1940 and 1946 articles (see References) makes it clear that Mohawk and Algonquin are grown from open-pollinated seeds of seedlings from the cross R. rugosa x R. rubrifolia.
