Rosa rugosa rubra has single, mauve, very fragrant blossoms that repeat all summer. The blossoms
are followed by very large orange-red hips in late summer
and last all winter. Bumble bees are always visiting the blossoms
on this rose. They 'll even share the blossom with you to
take in a quick whif of its fragrance. This rose can grow
up to 5-feet tall and is excellent for hedges. Completely
disease resistant and winter hardy to Zone 2.

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 plant 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. |
