Joanie,

Mme. Plantier would be a good specimen shrub.  Carleen described it 
beautifully.  It has nice foliage and graceful canes, not at all like 
the stiff, angular rugosa canes.  It grows easily in my northern 
Illinois garden.  As Carleen said, it starts easily from cuttings.  I 
have an extra potted plant from cuttings I stuck a few years ago.
