Rose ...   '  Rugosa'   white

I broke a piece off a rose shrub in a hedge in France 4 years ago stuck it in a yoghurt pot until we came home , I'm thrilled it has grown and that this is it's 1st flower

you can also get a pink version of this, wish i had thought to break a little piece off ~ they were in the hebrides too! if its the same one lulu said they do not get black spot! also they have a scent ~ seems like a very good plant to me!

Looking at the thorns and leaf I would say that's definitely a Rugosa rose! It will have lovely red hips in the autumn...
