The Rugosa Roses and Their Hybrids
Originating on the sand dunes along the coast of Northern Japan and Siberia, the Rugosa roses are very cold hardy. Most of their hybrids have retained a good tolerance of cold temperatures as well. Almost all are very thorny and have deeply veined healthy leaves. Nearly all Rugosas are well scented, are Repeats flowering and bear edible hips in fall. (See the "Other" column and the Key below) Rugosas are the most disease resistant of all the roses, shade tolerant and never need to be treated for blackspot. They make excellent hedges and companion plants for vegetable gardens. (zones 2 to 4 - a few less hardy). Easiest roses to grow!
Roses are available while quantities last. Varieties marked as 'sold out' may be available again next year. Remember to order early. More varieties will be available by summer.
Our prices may vary from season to season depending on the plant size. See the bottom of this list for Key.
