Features

Hybrid Rugosa rose with early season bloom and then recurrent through the fall.  White flowers (petal count 17-25).  Strong fragrance.  Excellent for hedging.

Culture

Prefers full sun and well-drained soils, but it is very tolerant of wide range of soil types and is also tolerant of light shade. Prune by the renewal method removing one-third of the oldest canes to the soil line in the spring as needed to keep the shrub open and new canes in production. Prune the stem back to a branch angle (a process called heading back) as needed to reduce width and height.
