their fullest.
Rugosa Rubra

Rugosa Rubra
Rosa Rugosa rubra is a purplish form of the Rosa rugosa cultivars. The flowers are similar in size of the
pink Rosa rugosa, and growing and caring for rugosa rubra is not any different. The rugosas are the easiest rose plants to care for.
Rosa Rugosa Kamchatica
R. rugosa kamtchatica, introduced in 1770, is most likely the result of a chance cross with Rosa rugosa
and another wild rose species.

Pruning Rugosa Roses And Care Of Rugosa Roses
Pruning rugosa roses, roses wild, and care of rugosa roses is minimal, as growing these wild roses is very
easy and there rarely are any problems of rugosa roses to speak of, if any.
To prune rose rugosa and it's cultivars is probably the easiest of all roses. This group of roses can be
left for three to five years with little or no pruning other than deadheading. Occasionally an old stem
can be removed at the base to promote new growth, or to prevent the plant from becoming too overcrowded
or invasive.
This technique of minimal pruning results in large and attractive Rosa rugosa plants.
