This is a wonderful rose in the garden and never disappoints us! Its fragrant blossoms have a mauve-red color and appear in abundance and June and then repeat until frost. What's really nice about this rose is that for us, it stays smaller than most Rugosas, reaching about 2-feet tall and wide. That makes it great for tucking into perennial
beds or for a low hedge. Completely winter hardy with no cane dieback during the winter. Like most Rugosa roses it has healthy foliage with no disease problems for us. The bumble bees adore it and so do we!

What's a "bareroot" plant?
 "Bareroot"
is a term that describes how a plant is shipped to you. A
bareroot plant is not in a pot, and is usually dormant (not
actively growing). See the photo to the right that shows what
a bareroot rose looks like. The bareroot plants that we ship
to you were harvested in the fall and placed in cold storage
over the winter to keep them dormant. In the spring, we ship
the bareroot plants to our customers, from early April through
mid May.
Bareroot plants are easy to grow. We include planting instructions
with your order. When you receive your plant, take it out
of the packing material and place it in a bucket of water
so that the roots are completely covered. Let the roots soak
for 4 to 24 hours, then plant it in your garden. Full planting
instructions with photos are available on our Planting
Roses page. |
