Family Rosaceae

Rosa rugosa 'Purple Pavement' is a vigorous shrub rose derived from the Rosa rugosa species, valued for its exceptional hardiness and unique bloom. It forms a dense, rounded bush with highly textured, dark green, corrugated foliage. Its large, intensely purplish-violet, semi-double, delicately fragrant flowers appear from early summer until autumn, sometimes reblooming. 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, Rosa rugosa 'Purple Pavement' is perfect for informal hedges, naturalistic landscaping, or seaside plantings. Robust and easy to maintain, it promotes biodiversity in full sun.
