Family Rosaceae

The ‘Blanda’ Rustic Rose is a robust native shrub rose, prized for its natural character and high hardiness. Derived from the species Rosa blanda, it forms an upright and slightly spreading shrub, with stems almost devoid of thorns. In early summer, it produces an abundance of simple, bright to medium pink flowers, delicately fragrant, highlighting a golden center attractive to pollinators. Its medium green foliage sometimes takes on beautiful autumn hues, followed by persistent decorative red rose hips. Ideal for informal hedges, naturalistic landscaping, or ecological restoration, the ‘Blanda’ Rustic Rose tolerates varied soils and cold climates well. It is an excellent choice for a sustainable garden promoting biodiversity in full sun.
