Hybrid Rugosa Care
Comments (14)I grow 50 Rugosas(25 different) in my garden and I find the beauty of them is that I don't have to worry about disease or poor growth. I am not organic but I don't spray and I only use compost around the base of the Rugosas. I would try not to view them as modern ( even if some have just been introduced) as this will destroy the beauty of trouble free plants. To me the only thing I have to worry about is their suckering and some do it very well. Here is my list of Rugosas which do okay in the PNW on sandy soil and gale force winds off the sea.

Comments (3)These roses should be very easy to revive, and should also tolerate hard pruning well. I don't know the fertilzers you use, but any organic solid fertilizer with all NPK nutrients once or twice a year shoud be enough. If the soil is very dry that might explain little to no growth. If the ph is very alcaline that might be the cause. Very often roses adjust well to any ph not too far from 7. If ph is a problem it will show in the leaves; pale colouring, yellowing, and other symptoms of nutrients deficiency. There are lists of these online, with pictures and descriptions. It's often iron that show up first; greener veins, and yellowing between them. The solution would be sulphour of some kind. It's available in all garden centres in areas with alkaline soil. Pruning other bushes and trees near by would of course help too, Space, air and sunlight is a must for recovering roses. The age should not be a problem, at least if they are ownroot, and even if not these varieties usually live for ever any how. Best of luck :- )...See MoreTherese Bugnet Hybrid Rugosa
Comments (7)I love this rose. It's been planted in every house I've been in. The early summer blooms literally stop people in their tracks and the fragrance perfumes the air. Re blooms sporadically for me through autumn. Beautiful red canes in winter. Nothing not to love about this rose. I only recall one episode of mildew on one ugly humid August many years ago....See Moreany luck breeding Rosa rugosa. Hybrids . or foutunina...
