More information

Hibernica is a light pink rose with a paler center. The blooms are small to medium, single, with 4 to 8 petals, and are produced in clusters. It flowers once in spring or summer. The plant has a tall, arching, bushy, spreading and upright growth habit, with matte, dark green, leathery foliage and 5 to 7 leaflets. It reaches about 120 to 245 cm in height and 120 to 150 cm in width. It is hardy and vigorous in USDA zones 4b through 9b and produces decorative hips. The rose is a species cross, discovered in Ireland in 1802 by John Templeton. It is a hexaploid hybrid between Rosa canina L. and Rosa spinosissima L., although some references reverse the parentage, and Kew’s Plants of the World Online cites Rosa corymbifera x Rosa spinosissima as the parentage.
