Japanese Rose

A very hardy and disease resistant rose, making a bush 1.5-2m high, slightly spreading. One of the very best for rose hips, which are huge (25-30mm across), round, and very good for processing.

Flowers are nice in salads etc. Good in hedges too.

Leaves turn yellow in autumn.

Rosa rugosa is a hardy, salt-tolerant, and disease-resistant shrub that thrives in full sun, though it tolerates light shade. It prefers well-drained, slightly acidic soil, but adapts to sandy, clay, or poor soil conditions. It requires regular water when young but is highly drought-tolerant once established.
