Hedgehog Rose, Rosa rugosa Rubra
- Shrub
A
versatile and worthy addition to any garden. With the minimum of attention and
being highly resistant to all of the usual rose problems, this rose will produce
masses of fragrant, single, yellow-centred flowers from July to September. These
are followed in the autumn by attractive, tomato-shaped, red or orange-red rose-hips.
Vigorous and repeat-flowering.
Can be used as a part of a mixed border, as a hedge or as a apart of a wild
garden. Vivid green wrinkled (rugose) leaves turn a butter colour in the autumn
and the hips are the source of much excitement amongst various finches and other
small seed-eating birds.
Height and
spread:
2m x 2m (6ft
x 6ft), rather open growth, good security barrier, not so good visual
barrier (easy to see through)
full sun or partial shade
-
Soil:
fertile, humus-rich,
moist, well-drained soil, but not very fussy.
Uses - Hedging / mixed border
/ wild garden

| Pruning:
Prune in the dormant season from autumn after the leaves have fallen to
spring before the buds break. If there are hips still on the stems, leave
them for the birds and prune when all have been eaten. Trim old stems back
as desired and remove the occasional (1 in 4 or 5) stem completely. Can
be renovated by taking out stems completely, leaving one in two or three
longer but trim these by up to a half of their length. |
