Rose rugosa ‘Alba’

Rose rugosa ‘Alba’ is a vigorous, medium-sized rose variety, excellent for hedging. Its glossy green foliage turns to buttery yellow in autumn ? and hides thorny stems that would discourage any intruder! ‘Alba’ bears fragrant, cup-shaped white flowers from July to September, which open from pale pink buds. Attractive orange-red rosehips follow, extending the season of interest well into the autumn. A useful species shrub rose, and a lovely addition to cottage gardens and wildlife areas. Height and spread: 1.5m (5′).
