Rosa rugosa 'Alba', Rosa rugosa 'Rubra'

RHS Award of Garden Merit

Protect your home & garden with barbed wire security ......without ugly barbed wire. Replace your old rotting Fence with this inexpensive, natural barrier of beauty which our original nursery introduced in 1964. A select stock of Rosa rugosa - recommended by all garden journalists and magazines. Not To Be Confused With Common Briars. Cluster Colourama is the pedigree proven rose that grows thicker and better each year. From early Spring the lush green foliage will encourage further growth from below ground level that, unlike ordinary roses, come true to the parent plant. Through the Summer it is covered in richly perfumed large pink, cerise, crimson & white flowers with sun gold centres. In Autumn lovely golden foliage is complimented by large red hips from which you can make rose hip syrup or jelly (recipes included in our cultural guidance) – or leave on the plants as they make an excellent Autumn bird food.
