‘Max Graf’ Rose

Rosa spp. 1½ x 8' R. rugosa x R. wichuraiana. James Bowditch intro, CT, 1919. Single pink blossoms with crinkly crêpe-paper texture on a low-growing shrub. Deep yellow glowing centers are very accessible to bees. Mildly fragrant. Not flashy, but for the northern gardener it’s a good, hardy, healthy rose that offers interest and appeal even out of season as the long reaching branches travel and root to form a dense mat. Trailing, good for banks or rock walls or a matted ground cover that can sprawl. Large dark leaves. Not a repeat bloomer. Z4.

Additional Information

Rosa Rugosa Hybrids

We no longer offer straight Rosa rugosa seedlings. Many wonderful old and new roses carry rugosa in their parentage (sometimes of an undetermined amount), and we have not observed these hybrids to be harmful to the environment. However the State of Maine legally requires us to include this statement: “R. rugosa: Invasive species, harmful to the environment. Do not plant in coastal environments, especially on or near sand dunes. Alternatives: Virginia rose, bayberry, red chokeberry, and beach plum.”
