Rugelda

Park rose /Hybrid Rugosa/

Rugelda is one of the best yellow Rugosa rose varieties, very vigorous and eye‑catching. The flowers open from scarlet buds; they are lemon‑yellow with a reddish edge, fading to creamy pink. Overall, the color varies greatly depending on the weather. The petals are wavy and shaped like pom‑poms. The flowers appear in large clusters of 5–10 blooms, usually at the ends of the stems. The stems are very thorny and thick, with young shoots displaying a beautiful purplish hue. The foliage is large, slightly wrinkled, and very glossy. The variety is quite disease‑resistant, reaches up to 2 m in hot climates, but responds well to spring pruning to 150 cm, which stimulates the growth of new flowering shoots. Certified under the ADR system in 1992.
