Rosa Rugosa
“A garden is a grand teacher. It teaches patience and careful watchfulness; it teaches industry and thrift; above all, it teaches trust.” ~ Gertrude Jekyll
Plant a Rosa Rugosa. They’re very hardy (Rugosas are the roses that grow at the beaches!), beautifully fragrant, and have very simple needs. I prune them in early spring, and after they flower I deadhead them to encourage more blooms. Later in autumn, rose hips take the place of flowers…perfect little touches to holiday décor!
Happy gardening! Love, Nora
I would love to see a picture!
Dear Nora, just pausing to say “thank you” for this and all posts bringing information and inspiration to lovers of natural country home and garden charm. This blog and your magazine truly provide “happy” places to dwell for a few minutes each day.
Gratefully – Linda
