I'm hunting for these roses: Dog Rose (Rosa Canina) Rugosa Rose (Rosa Rugosa) I would like several small plants of these. Please check my trade page to see if I have anything you want. Chrmann

Emailed you. :)

i have some wild rose seeds. i also have some rose seeds that came from two cultivars which were growing beside each other- one a large white rose, the other a large pink rose. rose is tricky, cause you dont usually know what color they will be, but likely these are both large and either white or pink. they were both very similar plants, size, and hopefully would cross well. i am attempting to sprout them right now, starting in the fridge, patiently! i also have one other kind, but i am not sure of the variety. it grows all around here and has elongated hips, multiple smaller bright pink roses. it seems somewhat wild ish, but has much fancier flowers than rosa rugosa. Here is a link that might be useful: my trade list

Just mow over it to control it in the yard. It might want to go under the driveway, because it really prefers fast draining soil and many driveways are built on a first course of rock and sand. But I don't think rugosas have the heave-potential of trees. Especially if the roots don't lead to new plants coming up on the other side of the driveway.
