Detail

Rosa rugosa is a suckering rose bush, very thorny, very hardy and tough, which will have its place in the embankments and uncultivated areas of your garden (even exposed to sea spray), which you wish to furnish with nice vegetation and flowers

Useful for creating impenetrable hedges

Ramanas Rose gives a very beautiful single, lilac bloom from spring to autumn

Flowers are followed in late summer and in autumn by fleshy, bright orange rose hips, decorative and edible

The rose hips are widely used in the Nordic countries (jams, infusions) and are delicious indeed

The petals Rosa rugosa can be used culinaryly, for example to prepare jams (after removing the base of the petal which gives bitterness)

A slightly aromatic infusion is obtained with the young leaves, with hepatic and anticancer properties

In case of drought on the following summer, you may need to water

Once established, maintenance-free besides cutting dead branches in winter to clear the bush
