Rose Rugosa 'Alba' is an enchanting species shrub rose. Sporting a vigorous growth habit, this superb rose is an ideal choice for hedging. In summer the stems are awash in a sea of glossy green foliage which turns buttery yellow late in the season. Rosa Rugosa flaunts a fragrant heap of white, cup-shaped flowers from July through to September. Come autumn, the fragrant white flowers are followed by orange-red rosehips. Absolutely stunning! Height and spread: 1.5m (5').

Culinary information: Some parts of these flowers are edible. Rosehips and petals can be used in making syrups and the petals will add flavour to cold drinks or fruit dishes. For more details about edible flowers click here.

When growing roses, choose a position in fertile well drained soil in full sun. Roses are greedy plants so add a small handful of granular fertiliser and mix some well rotted manure or compost to the soil prior to planting.

Feed and water roses regularly. Deadhead faded flowers. In autumn apply a mulch of well rotted manure or compost to the base of the plant. In winter, begin pruning shrub roses by removing dead and diseased wood, and any rubbing or damaged branches. Then reduce the stems lightly by no more than a third. Remaining side shoots should be reduced to two buds.
