The single flowers appear in shades of pink to magenta through summer, attracting pollinators and adding old-fashioned charm to borders, hedgerows, and coastal gardens. Its dense, suckering habit makes it useful as a flowering hedge or windbreak, and the large hips that follow the blooms are a favorite of birds and foragers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese seedlings are ready to establish in the garden, offering a economical way to add this dependable species rose to your landscape. Rugosa roses tolerate salt spray, poor soil, and cold winters, making them a low-maintenance choice for tough sites.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePlant Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntensely fragrant single blooms in pink to magenta tones\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDeeply veined, glossy green foliage with good disease resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProduces large, showy rose hips in late summer and fall\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDense, suckering growth habit ideal for hedges and screens\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHighly cold-hardy and tolerant of coastal conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eGrowing Information\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBotanical Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rosa rugosa\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlant Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Deciduous shrub rose\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSunlight:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full sun to light shade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil:\u003c\/strong\u003e Well-drained soil; tolerates sandy and poor soils\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWater Requirements:\u003c\/strong\u003e Moderate; drought tolerant once established\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth Habit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Upright, suckering shrub\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUSDA Hardiness Zones:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2-7\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBloom Season:\u003c\/strong\u003e Late spring through summer, with possible repeat bloom\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMature Height:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4-6 feet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpacing:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3-5 feet apart for hedges\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePlanting \u0026amp; Care\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlant rugosa rose seedlings in a sunny location with well-drained soil. Dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball and set the plant at the same depth it grew in the nursery. Backfill, water thoroughly, and apply a layer of mulch to conserve moisture and suppress weeds. Water regularly during the first growing season to help roots establish; thereafter, rugosas are quite drought tolerant.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePrune lightly in late winter to remove dead or damaged canes and to shape the shrub. Rugosas rarely need spraying and benefit from an annual application of compost or a balanced fertilizer in early spring. Their suckering nature can be managed by mowing or digging out unwanted shoots if a contained planting is desired.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eRugosa Rose bush seedlings (Rosa rugosa) for planting.
