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

Hi Debbie, There is no better choice than Rosa rugosa, they are superior. Richo

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?

Which variety of Rosa rugosa is this. I’m interested in rose hips and had heard Hansa was a good one for large rose hips.

Hi, We’re growing the species plant, not a varietal. We provide the standard open-pollinated form that comes true from seed. Hope that helps. r

Hi Beverly,
The first planting sold out very rapidly–I personally didn’t even know it was offered up until they sold out–my apologies, please hit waitlist again, we have more coming on. Richo

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

Richo Cech –
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 would have to recommend heirloom scented roses that we do not carry.

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.
