RASPBERRY RUGOSTAR® Rose

Large dark pink flowers with just a slight lavender wash cover this disease resistant shrub rose from mid-June to the first hard frosts of the season, traditionally around mid-October. Full sun in moderately fertile soils that never completely dry out are ideal. The rugosa parentage provides tolerance to salty soils, an advantage to roadside plantings subjected to salt spray during the winter. Honey bees and other insects find the flowers irresistible.
