Title: rugosa roses
Post by: Ricado on April 05, 2006, 19:16:29
someone has reccomended these roses, i am looking for information on what different types, colours, and most important of all how much do they cost ?

I was told there is a good red rose with double flowers, but do not have the proper name.  How large are the plants ?

many thanks

R. rugosa can get up to 5 1/2 - 6ft tall.  The cultivars are generally grafted, so you can have a fair idea of what they will grow too,  Could be restricted to 4ft.  depends on the rootstock
