  • Description

  • Notes

This is a naturally occurring seedling of Rosa rugosa, and is a tough, durable, lovely rose for mass planting, barriers, and shrub or foundation borders. It has very fragrant, single-petaled, pink flowers with prominent yellow stamens, and bloom off and on all summer, finally producing very large red hips in July. Foliage is bright to deep green, heavily textured, and disease resistant. Fall color is yellow to orange. It forms a dense, impenetrable mound 3 to 4 feet tall and 4 to 5 feet wide.
Grow in well drained soil, preferably loamy-clay to sandy-loam, in full to part sun. Rugosa roses are less fussy about soil type than the hybrid teas. Prefers a neutral or slightly acidic soil, though will grow in higher pH; also salt tolerant. Rugosa's typically do not require pruning, though if you are so inclined, do so with great caution as they are heavily thorned.
