It’s always a wonderful day when my Rugosa decides to bloom…such a lovely color and such a sweet fragrance… of all the roses my father grew he loved these best because they were so generous, abundant and full of joy. It’s going to be an amazing week!🏵 #rose #rugosa #rosewitch #happy #blessed #magic #gratitude #magic #citywitchnews #witch #hedgewitch #oldroses #gardener #gardens #herbgardens (at The Herban Inn) https://www.instagram.com/p/CdzVS-uAxcU/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Rosa rugosa
Rosa rugosa is an Asian rose species and cultivars come in single, partly-doubled and fully-doubled types. This one growing in the back garden, ‘evolves’ and produces more and more petals as it matures. The species name rugosa is derived from the Latin word for ‘wrinkled’ and refers to the appearance of its leaves. Rugosas also have thin, densely packed thorns - no doubt a defense against some native herbivore in their distant homeland.
Rugosas typically grow in sandy, beach environments in China, Japan, Korea and South-eastern Siberia. Of course, this means they can grow anywhere there’s a suitable habitat and they are now found in the wild in parts of Europe, North and South America. Why have they been declared an ‘invasive plant’ in places where they don’t normally grow? Well I’m sorry but the blame falls squarely on people like me. I regard my rugosa as an ornamental garden plant and I don’t care where a rose is from, as long as it’s pretty and it smells nice.

March in my garden is filled with the old dried-up bits of last year's bounty intermingled with tiny green buds that hold the hope of the whole world (or at least my fragile psyche) as a prisoner to their existence.
