Title

Hardiness Zone 2

Family Rosaceae

The ‘Hansa’ Rugosa Rose is a vigorous shrub rose derived from Rosa rugosa, renowned for its exceptional hardiness and intense fragrance. It forms a dense, rounded bush with highly textured, dark green crinkled foliage that remains attractive throughout the season. Its large, deeply fragrant, double deep magenta-purple flowers appear profusely from early summer until autumn. In late season, it develops large, decorative orange-red rose hips that extend its ornamental interest. Highly tolerant of poor, sandy, or saline soils, wind, and intense cold, the ‘Hansa’ Rugosa Rose is perfect for informal hedges, naturalistic landscaping, and Nordic gardens in full sun. Robust and easy to maintain, it promotes biodiversity.
