Plant Patent #6,793. Few Roses are easier and more floriferous than this reblooming, self-cleaning, lovely yellow Rugosa! Covered all season with clusters of 4-inch blooms of cheery yellow, this Rose drops its spent blooms and replaces them with new buds ? no more deadheading among the thorny canes!
The plant is highly disease resistant and extra-hardy, so it can truly be called carefree in the garden! The flowers have an intense, sweet fragrance that fills the garden or room. The buds are exceptionally attractive, too ? tall, elegant, and pointed.
Dense and bushy, this shrub features magnificent arching canes and reaches an overall size of 5 feet tall and 7 feet wide. The foliage is crinkled, adding texture to the long-season color display!
Rugosa roses are exceptional for their clove-scented fragrance and their indisputable hardiness. They will grow under difficult conditions, even when exposed to salt winds and spray. They sport numerous ferocious thorns, discouraging the trespass of man or beast! The foliage is bold and heavily veined, while the flowers (usually single) are richly textured and large, with colors that blend well with Old Shrub Roses.
Particularly desirable for their habit of producing flowers throughout the season, the plants are quite long-lasting, disease resistant, and tolerant of diverse soils from sand to heavy clay. Zones 4-8.
