The Pink Rugosa Rose (Rosa rugosa) is often referred to as the Saltspray Rose due to its tolerance to dry sandy soils and salt spray winds. However, that isn't the best part about this Rose, not even close. Its beauty and fragrance truly put the Pink Rugosa Rose over the top! These are highly adaptable and easy-going plants for a carefree landscape!
The Rugosa has beautiful petite pink flowers that have yellow central stamens and emit a fantastic true-Rose fragrance like few others! These flowers will continually bloom from June through August! It's definitely a stunner! You won't be the only one to think so - pollinators will arrive in droves to sip the nectar alongside hummingbirds!
As the flowering season winds down, don't think this plant is done for the year! In August, the Rose Rugosa develops one-inch red hips that can either be made into jams or left on the plant to provide food for wildlife during the winter months. Either way, these little, cherry tomato-looking, fruits are gorgeous and create a lovely fall interest. They are packed with Vitamin C!
Planting and Application:
This Rose is a gardener's favorite to use as a hedge! Can you imagine a prettier option for deterring trespassers or unwanted foot traffic (both the two-legged and four-legged kind!)? Create a backdrop of flowering privacy and screening for your garden beds and borders, seating areas, or create property definition and garden rooms to break up your landscape into sections of serenity. Snip a few blooms for your bouquets, or save a few of the Rosehips for crafts! Just be sure to leave a few blooms for the butterflies and hips for birds!
The durable nature of the Rugosa makes them ideal for street plantings, or in Rock Gardens! Landscapers and gardeners alike love this plant due to its adaptability and versatility. This is especially so in northern climates. Rugosa Roses aren't affected at all by the semi-regular application of salt on the roads. Making this native Rose bush perfect for driveways and sidewalks too!

Pruning is best done in early spring if needed.

Rose Bush FAQs
Where Is The Best Place To Plant Rose Bushes?
Rose bushes favor the drying power of the morning sun. Flowering best in full sun - at least 6 hours of direct sunlight a day. Choose a location in good, enriched soil that drains well and has good air circulation.
What Is The Best Month to Plant Roses?
You can plant Roses any time if you are able to provide enough consistent moisture and attention. While there is not a specific month that is best, generally because it changes with temperatures, climate and growing zone. However, the easiest times of the year to get Rose bushes established in your landscape are in spring after the last frost date, and in fall about 4-6 weeks before the first frost.
Do Rose Bushes Come Back Every Year?
Rose bushes are deciduous woody perennial shrubs and will return bigger and better each year.
