The 'Oscar Peterson' Rugosa Rose is an elegant, free-flowering shrub with a bushy, dense habit, known for its abundant blooms and remarkable hardiness. It produces a profusion of pure white semi-double flowers, lightly enhanced with a golden center, which contrast beautifully with its lustrous dark green foliage. Highly disease-resistant, it maintains a healthy appearance throughout the season. Flowering from early summer until the first frosts, it fits perfectly in beds, borders, or as a standalone plant to bring brightness and refinement. Adapted to cold climates, the 'Oscar Peterson' Rugosa Rose attracts pollinators and requires little maintenance, making it a reliable choice for structuring a full-sun landscape with lasting freshness and elegance.
