Rose, Rugosa (Rosa rugosa) potted bush, organic

(2 customer reviews)

$16.00

Family:  Rose (Rosaceae)

Hardy to Zones 2 to 9

Native to E. Asia, as far north as Siberia.  Tough, upright, thorny bushes useful in shelterbelts and hedges. These are not particular about their growing location or conditions, but sun, acidic soil and regular watering will produce monumental specimens.  The rugosa rose bears many small, sweetly aromatic, deep pink blossoms that give way to hefty hips.  Tea herb.  Source of pectin and vitamin C.  Prune back in fall.  Space plants 4 feet apart.

Quart-size potted plant, Certified Organically Grown

    I really want a rosa rugosa but living in east TN in zone 6b, would a rosa Virginiana be a better choice?

    Love this rose!

    Samantha

    I live in Missouri about an hour southeast of St. Louis and planted this potted rose four years ago. It’s doing splendidly! We have rocky, clay dirt for soil and it doesn’t seem to mind it one bit. It requires very little effort on my part. This rose bush has spread vigorously and I loom forward to its fragrant blooms every June.

    How do these do as far as rose rosette is concerned? Are they susceptible?

    Outstanding in the blistering Sonoran heat

    Nicholas

    This rose, widely known in Maine as the ‘Beach rose,’ turns out to be an ace in the desert as well. Out of thirty different rose cultivars I trialled last year in Phoenix (9b), this was both the most fragrant and the only one to bloom in the ‘dog days’ of summer, when most other plants are too busy fighting transpiration to grow much, let alone blossom. Marvelous rugose foliage. Deep pink blooms suggest ‘rubra’ selection. Good golden autumn color. Overall, positively remarkable performance in one of the USA’s harshest climates.

      If I didn’t prune my bush in the fall should I do it now or should I leave it alone? It’s looking a bit Dr. Seuss like 🙂 this is my third year with this plant and looks like I might finally get some blooms this year and I don’t want to mess things up

      Hi Izzy, these should be pruned in fall to early spring and by this time of year should simply b allowed to grow on without pruning. you can cut it back in the fall after it flowers. r

      Hey Richo!

      I have to be ‘that person’ who asks when these might be available again? Perhaps your usual release time/s?

      thank you

      Hi Kimberly, you’ve put your finger on it! We have populations of these going but are up against the consumer’s usual concept of a rose plant–an inch thick stem cut back to a huge root ball–we won’t be releasing plants for sale until we can be sure people will be happy. r

      Hi Richo,
      I understand that this Rugosa has excellent rose hips; however I’m also wondering if the rose petals could be dried and used for teas? If not, would you recommend another kind? I’m in Zone 10a CA (tho more like PNW as I have microclimates) thank you!

      sounds like a nice place to live. all roses includng rugosa have edible petals. rugosa and scented heirlooms, as well as our wild roses, are among the best. Harvest during bud stage. r

      Will do! Which of your roses tend to have the strongest (sweet not clove-like) scent?

      I appreciate your honesty and integrity in answering, Richo. Thats what keeps me a loyal customer ! On a slightly different ROSE note, just wanted to tell you that I planted four of your desert rose seeds and three have already come up in a pretty short time (and i hope the fourth is not far behind, ha..) your seeds are really wonderful quality; I am new to growing from seed and having so much success with your seeds.

      Is it too late to order these for the year? Just wondering I wanted to order two but I can also try to plant from seeds.

      Hello Sonja,
      Thanks for contacting. Rosa rugosa is out of stock. We hope to list this for next year in the spring.
