Rugosa rose 'Yellow Jacket'
The Rosa rugosa 'Yellow Jacket' is a vigorous shrub rose derived from the Rosa rugosa species, known for its exceptional hardiness and dense, rounded habit. It produces large, luminous yellow single flowers, delicately scented, which contrast elegantly with its dark green, corrugated foliage characteristic of rugosas. Flowering from early summer until autumn, it also offers large, decorative red hips at the end of the season. Very tolerant of poor soils, wind, and sea spray, it is perfect for informal hedges, naturalistic landscaping, or seaside plantings. The Rosa rugosa 'Yellow Jacket' attracts pollinators and is a robust choice for northern gardens seeking durability, fragrance, and low maintenance in full sun.
