Sorry, sold out for 2010.

Double, deep-pink, fragrant blossoms cover this rose in early to mid summer, and then repeat until frost. This rose makes a great hedge or works well in a mixed border. It has compact growth to 3 or 4-feet tall and can be pruned to shape. Like all Rugosa roses, it's extremely winter hardy and doesn't need any protection to get through even the toughest of winters. Health foliage and pretty blossoms make this a great addition to any garden.

What you'll receive: Grade #1 own-root plants, shipped bareroot (no soil or pot) and dormant (no foliage). Learn more about our plants.

What's a "bareroot" plant?

Photo of 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.
