Rugosa Roses - Rugosa rose are sturdy, handsome shrubs.
Blossoms come in white, several shades of pink, red to almost
purple, singles and doubles -- most showing centers of attractive
yellow stamens. Rugosa rebloom intermittently after a heavy
June bloom. Rugosas' tough, textured, deeply veined foliage
and erect, spiny stems distinguish them from other roses.
Rugosa roses are particularly useful for hedges and ground covers. More below...

Rugosa Rose Tips
Rugosa roses are hardy to Zone 3. Their preference for light,
sandy soil in full sun to partial shade make them especially suited
for seashore planting. Rugosa roses tolerate both salt and
drought. Rugosas require no spraying for disease and little
fertilization. Prune out only the old, worn-out canes.
In autumn Rugosas have beautiful, orange-red hips, rich in vitamin
C, that attract wildlife and are useful for jelly.
