I am growing this in a partly shaded, sporadically watered area. It has grown very fast, 10 feet in 2 years. It doesnt seem to need fertilizer. No black spot. The leaves are a beautiful color, with soft gradations from red to blue. It looks sensational growing next to a golden cultivar of red flowering current.
It has single pink rose flowers in the summer, and nice reddish hips, but the reason to grow it is for foliage. I see it doing well around Seattle in either sun or shade. It does need a lot of room.
I planted this rose last year. After an extremly harsh and cold winter (-40 and lower), this plant is just started to bud out with no winter protection. I am extremely pleased with this plant.

Chicago area. Rosa Glauca grows by self seeding in my garden. I have seedlings so far from last summer. Can anyone who has seen this or has knowledge of this, please contact me? I am interested in hearing if this becomes an option for viable plants.
In the meantime, I shall baby my babies and hope for the best!

This rose is useful for it's unusual glaucus purple stems and foliage. The flowers are rather inconspicuous, but nevertheless charming. They are small, single and a mauve-pink.
The plant glows in the autumn with oval red hips.
The leaves and hips are much used by flower arrangers.
