Rosa glauca

Rosa glauca (syn. Rosa rubrifolia) is a botanical rose from central Europe and was introduced around 1831. This wild rose has a strong branching, vigorously upright habit and, once full of flowers, a slightly pendulous shape. The leaves are attractively frosted, silver-gray with purple hues and adorn beautifully contrasting red twigs. Rosa glauca blooms in June and July with some pink-red flowers with a white center and golden-yellow stamens. This rose prefers a sunny or slightly shaded position and a slightly moist, but very well permeable soil. It does well in all soil types. This rose is super hardy, tolerates sea wind and air pollution and attracts bees and insects.
