More information
An early Rugosa hybrid. The flowers of ‘Sir Thomas Lipton’ are pure white, semi-double to double, with many small petals and a tuft of golden stamens at the center. They appear in clusters of 3–7 and continue almost uninterrupted after the first heavy flush. The shrub is very prickly; the foliage is bright green and rugose; the shoots are arching. The cultivar is generally disease resistant but can develop black spot and rust in regions where these diseases are present. Tolerant of heat, cold, drought, and damp conditions.
Hybrid Rugosa. Fragrant blooms about 5 cm in diameter on very spiny canes. Repeat bloom is sparse. In northern climates, the shrub tends to sprawl and open. Susceptible to disease, although often described as resistant. Very winter-hardy.
Comparable to ‘Blanc Double de Coubert’, but the flowers persist longer on the plant and are less strongly scented. An abundant spring bloom is followed by lighter waves through the summer.
Handles heat and humidity well. The shrub is vigorous, among the tallest Rugosa hybrids. Flowers are loosely formed, semi-double, pure white, and fragrant. Good disease resistance. (Oliver)
