    Sifting through the early deliveries of bare root roses at Lowe's, I spied this fine shrub. I was in the market for a super hardy and disease resistant rose. A spot of mildew may trouble Therese Bugnet occasionally, but in the main, disease resistance is one of the rugosa class's hallmarks.
      Blue-green leaves create a cool color background for the warm pink, ruffled blossoms. A large flush in spring is followed by repeat bloom throughout summer and into the fall. Jack Frost turns the lovely leaves to red and gold with a fine display of orange-red hips. A bird's delight!
      Be careful when picking blossoms! The rose canes are armed with vicious thorns. The shrub grows to seven feet and makes a fine specimen plant in the landscape.
