Rosa rugosa aka Rugosa Rose

Rosa rugosa, also known as rugosa rose, beach rose, Japanese rose, Ramanas rose, or letchberry, is a species of rose native to eastern Asia. It can be found in northeastern China, Japan, Korea, and southeastern Siberia, particularly along beach coasts and sand dunes. This hybrid rugosa rose typically reaches a height of 1-1.2m and features serrated, crinkled, dark green leaves. The plant produces highly fragrant, semi-double crimson-red blooms in abundance during early to midsummer, with occasional repeat blooms later in the season. Following the blooms, a plentiful crop of orange-red fruits, known as hips, appears. It is important to note that Rosa rugosa should not be confused with Rosa multiflora, which is also referred to as "Japanese rose". The name "rugosa" is derived from the Latin word meaning "wrinkled", a description that accurately reflects the appearance of its leaves.
