Description
Rosa rugosa Hansa is a vigorous suckering deciduous shrub with a dense upright framework, abundant prickles, and handsome dark green wrinkled foliage. Large double violet-red to deep pinkish-purple flowers carry a strong clove-like fragrance.
Flowers repeat from summer into fall and may be followed by scarlet ornamental hips. The hardy, tolerant shrub suits informal hedges, coastal gardens, flowering borders, wildlife planting, and low-maintenance sites.
Grow in full sun or partial shade in fertile, humus-rich soil that stays moist but drains freely. Water while establishing, feed and mulch in late winter or early spring, prune lightly, and deadhead through the flowering season.
