| Rugosa rose produces loads of beautiful, fragrant, rosy violet flowers in early summer and sporadically in late summer and early fall. Hybrid cultivars of rugosa rose have white, light pink, deep pink, and purplish red flowers. This dense-growing, wide-spreading shrub rose is exceedingly cold hardy and disease resistant and has handsome, wrinkled, deep green foliage that often develops yellow, orange, and red tints in the fall. In addition, this rose produces showy fruits, or hips, that provide a bright splash of red-orange through the fall and early winter. |
