Rugosa
A truly magnificent rose.
All the good, rugged features of the Rugosa species are combined with big shapely buds and richly-colored fragrant flowers in this old hardy favorite.
Similar to 'Roseraie de l'Hay', but bears hips and more double flowers of bright silky magenta. One of the first and last to bloom. Strong, delicious scent. Very healthy. Great for barrier plantings in cold climates. Red hips in fall. Avoid chemical sprays. Disease free.
