Cold hardy Rose with unique winter interest, the Therese Bugnet Rugosa Rose (Rosa 'Therese Bugnet') is a gorgeous Shrub Rose with large, red-violet to pale pink, double flowers that are highly fragrant and cover the lush green foliage from mid-June until frost!

The fragrant blooms are highly attractive to pollinators and full of vital nectar and pollen resources for all beneficial insects!

As its origin in Canada in 1950 might suggest, Therese Bugnet is a true, chilly zone 3 plant and is heat-tolerant up to USDA growing zone 8. This plant is very hardy and forms a dense, upright, and mounded cluster of thorny canes 5-7 feet in height and 4-5 feet in width.

#ProPlantTips for Care:
This Rugosa Landscape Rose will grow in part shade, but not bloom anywhere near as much as in the full sun. So for the best blooms, the most blooms, and the best fall-colored canes, plant in a location with good air circulation and 6 hours of direct sunlight a day. Roses need well-drained soil that is enriched and organic with regular moisture access. Help hold in moisture more evenly with a 3-4 inch layer of mulch over the entire root system.
Therese Bugnet blooms on last year's wood so wait until they bloom in June, and then you can prune the stems as needed. This Rose appreciates a renewal pruning every 3-5 years - cut the oldest, fattest stems out to the ground, leaving the younger thinner stems in place. You'll enjoy increased flowering on the newer, more vigorous stems later in the summer into fall.
