The Rugosa Rose 'Frau Dagmar Hartopp' is a vigorous shrub rose derived from Rosa rugosa, renowned for its exceptional hardiness and natural elegance. It forms a dense, rounded bush with highly textured, dark green, corrugated foliage. Its large, simple, delicately fragrant soft pink flowers bloom from early summer until autumn, showcasing a golden center attractive to pollinators. In late season, it produces large, decorative orange-red rose hips that extend its ornamental interest. Highly tolerant of poor, sandy, or saline soils, wind, and intense cold, the Rugosa Rose 'Frau Dagmar Hartopp' is perfectly suited for informal hedges, naturalistic plantings, and Nordic gardens in full sun.
