The new variety of shrub rose, ‘CA 29’, was selected by the Inventors from amongst 444 seedlings derived from a cross made in March 2003 between the female parent, ‘BAIhero’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 15,400) and the male parent, ‘Frontenac’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 9,210). ‘CA 29’ was selected as a single unique plant in September of 2005.
