Roseraie De L'Hay Rose Bushes

Roseraie De L'Hay Shrub Rose

Rugosa roses are not native and are a Schedule 9 plant: only for garden use. It's illegal to plant them out in the wild, like a country hedge.
Before they were added to the schedule in 2010, they were widely recommended for sandy and rocky coastal gardens where they perform almost as well as Gorse, but don't seed around as much.

Roseraie de l'Hay is a more cultivated form of the Red Ramanas Rose.

A vigorous, dense shrub, with dark green leaves and rich, wine-purple, elongated buds, opening to splendid, large, crimson-purple flowers that carry a really strong, clove perfume. Roseraie de l'Hay also presents very good autumn leaves. 7 ft. x 7 ft.

Being very thorny, it's a good choice for a secure hedge, especially if given some structure with Hawthorn, however, wild rugosas will be more cost-effective for this purpose.

Known as Old Rosemary to her friends, she was bred by Charles Cochet-Cochet (1866-1936) in Grisy-Suisnes, Northern France, around 1900. She is a seedling of Rosa rugosa rubra.
