More information

A rugosa hybrid for garden use. Hansa exhibits typical group traits, with heavily armed canes and many large prickles; the blooms have an informal rather than classic form. Elongated buds open to tousled, semi-double flowers of silky lilac with golden stamens at the center. They appear in small clusters of 3–5 and are followed by hips that resemble small tomatoes. Foliage is characteristic of rugosa—wrinkled, light green; the shrub is robust. It is among the earliest to bloom and continues all summer until frost. The variety is disease resistant and, on its own roots, tends to produce suckers. Suitable for hedges and also for standalone planting, as it is not overly large.

Produces a symmetrical shrub of equal width and height. Disease resistant. Very hardy.

Mahogany, purplish-red flowers with lilac highlights and a strong clove scent. A well-branched, upright shrub that, after flowering, carries large hips; height to 1.2 m. Suitable for low hedges. Blooms through summer and autumn. Vigorous and frost-resistant; tolerates partial shade; very hardy.

Low-growing and slow-growing cultivar. Large purple flowers.

A typical rugosa hybrid displaying the species’ traits. Blooms throughout summer; flowers are pure magenta with a noticeable fragrance. Blooms are double and irregular in form. Reported as completely resistant to diseases. If left unpruned, with age it can form a tree-like specimen with an umbrella-shaped crown.

Do not confuse this rose with ‘Hansaland’ (Kordes), which also derives from the rugosa rose (Rosa rugosa). Hansa bears double violet-pink flowers with a rose-and-clove fragrance. After flowering, large bright red hips develop. The shrub is upright and can quickly reach 2 m in both height and width. Well suited to hedges.

Classified as winter-hardy. Long-lived shrubs can form extensive thickets, often thinning or dying back at the very center due to insufficient light. Bloom begins in early summer with large lilac-pink flowers. The cultivar is usually very resistant to disease. In autumn, numerous large orange hips appear.

A winter-hardy hybrid rugosa that produces loose, 7–10 cm double, rosette-type blooms on short shoots that arch or droop under the weight of the flowers. Flower color ranges between purple-magenta and bright purple-red. Fragrance is intense. An abundant first flush is followed by moderate repeat, with another strong wave often occurring in autumn. By season’s end, large red hips ripen among the flowers. Canes are arching and very thorny. Bright green, wrinkled foliage turns yellow, orange, or purplish-red in autumn. The shrub is vase-shaped, upright, and forms a hemispherical outline. In cold climates it remains relatively compact; in hot regions it can reach 3 m or more. Produces root suckers. Disease resistance is high.
