Our rose expert’s reccomendation
Hansa
Rugosa Rose
At first sight, this is a very similar rose to ‘Roseraie de l’Hay’, but the flowers are fully double and bright silky magenta in colour. They have a lovely Old Rose fragrance. It produces a good crop of hips in the autumn, extending the season of colour in the garden. Schaum Van Tol, 1865.
