Rose recommendation-fragrant, thorny, and with rose hips
Comments (12)The Rugosas sucker on their own roots, don't they? Roots spread out & throw up new canes in an ever-expanding patch over time. Might want to find a grafted one if this wouldn't work in your space. Thorniest rose I grow is Aloha Hawaii, a shortish climber whose main canes are literally studded with thick long sharp thorns. Can be grown as a stocky shrub with pruning or allowed to frame the window for a double deterrent. Blooming laterals not as bad as the main canes, but no one could wade through it without a suit of armor. Fragrant double blooms in a range of sunset hues that repeat well & often from early to late here. Lovely fat hips if not deadheaded. HelpMeFind says occasional bloom after the first flush, but Member Ratings average out to Good- from 11 feedback reports. Bloom frequency increased with age here to 4-5 flushes at 4 years old. Nippstress grows this in zone 5b Nebraska. http://www.helpmefind.com/gardening/l.php?l=2.39802.4&tab=1 Keep in mind that it would be a barrier if you ever needed to exit through that window, though.

Comments (8)Just FYI, put the passiflora vine somewhere where it's happy. It's the sole food source for the Gulf Fritillary butterfly, which is a close ringer to the Monarch. There is nothing more delightful than having a cloud of a dozen butterflies dancing in the sunlight over one's garden!...See MoreBarni roses —recommendations
Comments (18)These roses have blown me away. I love every one of them. Mas, your Roberto is such a lovely thing. I've been noticing him for several years, and what you say about this rose makes me want to give Barni a try. Where is the best place to buy them? Kathy, Stile 800 and Ochi de Fati are both gorgeous. What unique roses. I'm a sucker for the pouffy types, so Stile 800 really appeals to me. She's a lot like Augusta Luise. Wow, Hugogurll, Perfume Breeze is a blooming machine, really different and beautiful. I love how you're growing it. Mossy, the colors and bloom form of Etrusca are perfection, and so is your photography. I checked HMF, and though there were many beautiful photos posted, yours are by far the best.
