The Dart’s Dash Rose, Rosa 'Dart’s Dash', Hybrid Rugosa, produces lovely semi-double mauve-red buds that open to purple-crimson flowers giving off a heavy sweet scent. This hardy, disease resistant rugosa type rose blooms repeatedly through the season. It displays large orange-red hips and orange leaf color in the fall. This rose has its own root. The advantage of own root roses is that once established they are very resilient. If winter's freezing breezes kill the top growth, the rose will grow back in the spring, and the recovered rose will look the same as the one you purchased. ... additional information
