Rugosa rose 'Rubra'
The Rosa rugosa ‘Rubra’ is a vigorous shrub rose derived from the Rosa rugosa species, renowned for its exceptional hardiness and dense, rounded habit. It produces large, single, intensely magenta-pink flowers, delicately fragrant, which bloom from early summer until autumn. Its dark green, wrinkled foliage, characteristic of rugosas, offers a distinct texture and yellows slightly at the end of the season. In autumn, it develops large, very decorative orange-red rose hips. Highly tolerant of poor soils, wind, sea spray, and intense cold, the Rosa rugosa ‘Rubra’ is ideal for informal hedges, naturalistic plantings, or coastal areas. Robust and easy to maintain, it promotes biodiversity and is perfectly suited to full-sun Nordic gardens.
