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!

| "Dear
Old Rose Nurseryl,
Just had to drop a line to say how impressed we were with our
order of roses. They travelled beautifully and are far superior
to roses I have purchased from other centres."
