40/60cm Pot Grown White Ramanus Rose
(Rosa rugosa 'Alba')

The Rosa rugosa ‰ۡÌÝÌáAlba,‰ۡó» will add wildlife interest as well as colour into a lovely mixed hedge, or it can be planted as a single species, as its prickly nature makes it a successful intruder deterrent. It is deeply fragranced, large, white flowers burst through in June and last until September, following with the largest berry-looking rose hip of any wild rose bush. It also has lush, glossy-green foliage that has a crinkly feel to it.

The plant can grow very densely, as new growth comes from below ground level, making it the ideal hedging plant if wanting to add some fresh and bright colours to your garden.

This 40/60cm potted White Ramanus Rose plant has an average growth rate but will grow up to 1.2m-2.5m, when planted in good conditions.

When it comes to soil and situation types, the White Ramanus Rose is a tough plant. It is not dependent on what soil or site it has (except it cannot sit in waterlogged soil) but does particularly like sun and a bit of sandy soil. It is also tolerant to coastal positions- hence it is sometimes called the Saltspray Rose.
