More information
Rosa rugosa is widely used in northern gardens, and many cultivars have been developed from it. Numerous efforts have aimed to obtain yellow Rugosa forms; ‘Agnes’ is among the few successful results. Reported traits include a fruity fragrance, flower colors ranging from apricot to pale yellow and ivory, high winter hardiness, and wrinkled olive foliage with low disease incidence. Petals are susceptible to damage from rain and strong winds.
Rugosa hybrid. Large flowers, about 7.5 cm in diameter, with an amber tinge. Fruity fragrance (sources differ on intensity). Petals fall readily, especially after rain. The bush is often bare at the base. Shoots are very prickly. May freeze in severe winters, but generally winter-hardy without shelter.
Buds are globular. Flowers creamy yellow, darker toward the center, saucer-shaped, large (7–8 cm), double (40–60 petals), fragrant, solitary and in clusters of 3–5, on stout, short pedicels (5–7 cm). Leaves small, shiny, wrinkled. Thorns numerous, awl-shaped. Shrubs upright, tall (2.5 m). Blooms among the earliest, for 20 days. Frost-resistant (slight freezing). For group plantings.
