Just wondering if any of you grow this rose and could possibly take some cuttings for me. I have quite a few seeds, some succulant flowing plant cuttings, or maybe multiplying onions I can trade you.

Kelly if you're still looking for rugosa roses, there is a wonderful nursery, just outside of Spokane, Wa. We bought 8 rugosas from them when we lived nearby. They are grown "on their own root", many to choose from, and they ship all over the U.S. Their website is www.northlandrosarium.com check it out! |

Rugosa roses and the horrible weed, multifora rose, have nothing in common. Fear not!
I first encountered this species on Nantucket Island, Massachusetts and fell in love forever. There is nothing more delightful than rose hip jelly made from the huge hips of the variety that grow on the island. There are several varieties to choose from, by the way. Some might do better in your neck of the woods than others. I'm a member of the American Rose Society. Our website has good info on rugosas: http://www.ars.org/about-roses/rose-care-articles/resplendent-rugosa-roses/ |

That is the reason I am really wanting to try and grow one. It seems to so very useful all around. I have so many deer where I live. I will have to put it in a fenced garden. It will be fun to see if I can make a go of it if indeed I can get one.

If I still lived in Battleground...I could have dug you up a start. They grow wild all
over that area. Not so much here in the City however.
They are pretty and have a lot of fragrance and the rose-hip is great for tea and medicinal
purposes.
Blessings and hugs,
Peggy

Brenda,
I think the rose you are referring to is sometimes called the old farm roses. As they will grow, on fence rows and just about anywhere. The difference is (I think) the rugosa rose has a bigger bloom and rose hip. The old farm roses have a smaller more clustered hip to them, and will grow very large. I have one that is over 10 feet wide and 8 feet tall. They smell very sweet, and when the petals drop it looks like snow on the ground.
If you want to get rid of them, just cut them way back and continue that habit until they no longer come back or dig the roots out ... they are beautiful tho ...

Question for you, what is the difference between rugosa rose and multiflora rose? I have lots of the multifloras and don't quite know how to get rid of them.
But the flowers sometimes look like the picture in the first post.

Yes they are beautiful. Smell so sweet and hips are so useful. Maybe a few girls here are already growing them and can share with us.

Kelly,
These are such a beautiful almost wild rose.
I remember them rambling along the jetty in Wells ME. I would love to have them as well ...
