‘Roseraie de l’Hay’

Rosa rugosa 10x5' R. rugosa hybrid. Cochet-Cochet, France, 1901.

Deep purple-red to magenta double blossoms are big and lush with an interesting form: the very full blooms have relaxed outer petals with twisty center petals and erect inner petals that rise up from the center of the stamens. Very fragrant repeat bloomer. This one stood out for its staggeringly beautiful scent the morning we walked around Corn Hill Nursery with Bob Osborne. Indeed, it is one of his favorites! Dark green crimply foliage. Arching and upright. Sterile flowers do not produce hips, so it’s a safe salt-tolerant rugosa type to plant near coastal areas without concern about spreading. Z3. NEW! (9–18" bare-root plants)

Rosa rugosa hybrids We no longer offer straight Rosa rugosa seedlings. Many wonderful old and new roses carry rugosa in their parentage (sometimes of an undetermined amount), and we have not observed these hybrids to be harmful to the environment. However the State of Maine legally requires us to include this statement: rugosa: Invasive species, harmful to the environment. Do not plant in coastal environments, especially on or near sand dunes. Alternatives: Bayberry and red chokeberry.

Small Trees and Shrubs

As Green’s Nursery catalog from 1904 explains, “There are many trees that by pruning can be made to resemble shrubs, and many shrubs that by different pruning may be made to produce medium-sized trees.”
