Rugspin Rose

Good Afternoon Everyone,

I shouted myself a Rugspin Rose this season and it has just bloomed for the first time so I thought I might share the little event. Nice perfume to boot.

Lovely rose Brett, you will enjoy this Rugosa, hardly any problems with it, no disease, pests or similar and as you say the fragrance is a bonus.

I planted Rugspin in the school garden a number of years back where we hold our Regional Rose Society meetings however the rootstock has gone feral and it is only a matter of time before it takes over the plant.

Oh, love that foliage! I have a 'thing' about foliage. I'm a bit obsessed with the matte blue-green Alba foliage, and I can't wait to get Ghislaine de Feligonde for her tiny little glossy leaves.

I'm even thinking about some hybrid spinnosissima roses, their foliage is so tiny and cute

Anyway, I got Rosarie de l'Hay and Sarah van Fleet this season - I've healed them in but they're getting planted in their 'forever' homes in no-mans-land tomorrow. I hope they're as pretty as yours.

Doug, how would you go striking it from a cutting and replacing it ?
