Thanks so much for this article. I just received seeds for the Rugosa and wondered if I should plant them and now I know I do. Thanks also for the tip about the fertilizer, I wouldn't have know to water first.

Nice job, Cath. I don't have any rugosas yet, but plan to try them one of these days. They are supposed to tolerate part shade better than most roses.

They seem to be a really all round, toughie for a rose. I love em for the easy care and great fragrance.

Well, actually, their Chinese...sorry Victor, although they could very well come over the land route with Marco Polo, their history stretches back that for. It's that a neat idea??

Well considering these are not hybrids in the usual sense. They are wiziwigs...so the ones you have now have ancestors who looked the same but were cared for by some one in China or Japan. Just such a cool concept!
