heady scent.

Thanks for your comment, Janey. I think the only way to pick them to avoid the serious spines is to take just the terminal end with buds and flowers and put it in a rose bowl. I have to dress like I'm going into battle whenever I prune it. Had the same var. in my town garden and left it behind because it was almost a tree and I'd have been ripped to pieces trying to dig it out for transplant. It blossoms twice a season if deadheaded after the first flush... the scent wafts for miles..the hips are a gorgeous red..and make a spicy taste in a tea. Have also contemplated saving the petals to make turkish delight or rosewater. Add that to the fact that as a landscape plant it is great as a hedge.. and it's an all rounder!

Ahh, like a Rosa rugosa, very strong scent but as you say has prickles for England, or in your case Canada! Haha

Does it have the large orange hips Lori? If not you could pick them for the house before those flaming beetles get a whiff of scent...
