Rugosa rose 'Alba'
The Rosa rugosa ‘Alba’ is an extremely hardy shrub rose derived from the species Rosa rugosa, valued for its robustness and luminous flowering. It forms a dense, rounded bush with highly textured, crinkled dark green foliage that is disease resistant. Its large, single, pure white, lightly fragrant flowers bloom abundantly from early summer until autumn. In late season, it produces large, decorative orange-red rose hips that extend its ornamental interest and benefit wildlife. Highly tolerant of poor, sandy, or saline soils, as well as wind and intense cold, the Rosa rugosa ‘Alba’ is perfectly suited for informal hedges, naturalistic landscaping, and Nordic gardens in full sun.
