Native to E. Asia, as far north as Siberia. Tough, upright, thorny bushes useful in shelterbelts and hedges.

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.

One of the most enlightening aspects of growing and distributing plants is feedback from other growers who try one’s stuff. Thank you for shedding more light on our Rosa rugosa, some see thorns, some see blossoms, it is all about pure view.

I’m interested too! Just ordered Crataegus laevigata ‘Paul’s Scarlet’ (C. oxyacantha) from you – so happy I found it : )

Hello Renata,
OK, thank you for staying in touch, we’ll e-mail you when rosa rugosa comes available again. We do have plenty of English Hawthorne trees right now and they are recommended, but I’m not sure where you got the “Paul’s Scarlet” adage–what we have are species plants, not select cultivars.

Any idea when the Rosa rugosa will be available? I’m in Texas and just moved to our new house where our yard is slowly becoming more permacultured along with the practice of Biodynamics and would love to have some of your Rose hips. There aren’t many companies I trust as much as yours.

Thank you, that’s nice of you, we have some Rosa rugosa still in the nursery and we’ll try to get in touch with you about moving some your way. Permacultural yards are cool. Richo

This is actually kinda perfect. You can leave a note in the “customer comments” field saying: requesting one rosa rugosa be added to this order. r

Hello,
I have been on the wailist for this rosa rugosa and the Bu Ju Hua for over a year. I haven’t received any notification from you because I checked back many times. Please don’t skip me. Would you please let me know if you have a plant for me? Thanks.

hi, I understand this situation. You are right, in the past we had issues with the auto e-mails, as the e-mail program was identifying them as spam, and many of them went to that big black hole in the internet sky. However, we have fixed that problem, and waitlist e-mails are working properly. We really had no idea in the beginning how helpful the waitlist feature would be, but now that it works, we really like it. Nest time you make a plants order from us, let us know you want a rosa rugosa plant and we’ll put one in for free. We have several left over in the nursery but not enough to list. Also, bo-ju-hua is going to be available for shipment in the spring. We have a great many of them that we are growing on for sale and will list in Dec. You will get an e-mail!

Thank you for your kind reply. Now it make sense because I saw other people’s reviews of the plants the received, but on your website it is always not available. I will put in an order today so I could get a rosa rugosa. I will check back early in the spring for the bo ju hua.
