Rose ... ' Rugosa' white

Is lovely looks like tissue paper.

thats brilliant!

How good is that, brilliant and lovely too.

is this one just called rugosa??? i think lulu will know?

Thanks everyone ! I haven't that one in my rose book Sticki lets hope Lulu sees it and knows if it is that !

i have sent lulu a pm

Thanks Sticki , I googled it and I,m pretty sure you are right it matches perfectly ,if Lulu confirms it I will alter the name to fit .. :o)

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!

Thanks Sticki ,I love anything that doesn't get black spot , I 'll break a piece of mine in the autumn to see if I can get it going for you if you like !

oh yes please amy that would be lovely, thank you!!

Will do :o))

thats really kind, thank you amy

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

Thanks for the conformation Lulu I will name it as that now x

What a clever girl. must try doing that when in France, took some hollyhock seeds, nothing to be seen as yet.

im wondering if it would be a good hedge plant? interest all year, disease resistant and thorns to protect!!!!!!

Do give it a go Angela are you going this year ? Sticki it was a hedge that I took this cutting off it looked a lovely hedge with all it's flowers also it could with it's prickles deter unwanted visitors Like Badgers Angela !!

how big has your cutting grown now amy?

No not this time Amy, next year to celebrate our big 50!! all being well.

Ah yes I'd forgotten ,that will be something well worth planning and something to look forward to Angela :o))

Sticki my cutting is approx 3ft tall now this is it's first flower !

wow amy!!! thats pretty good though, even if it did take a while to flower
