Dart’s Dash Rose (rugosa hybrid, hips, rose petal jam)

Dart’s Dash Rose (rugosa hybrid)

Large hips.
Very fragrant.
Great for rose petal jam.
Tough, vigorous and disease-resistant.

Excellent for hedging and soil stabilization. Drought resistant once established.

It is similar to the older cultivar Hansa, but has better flower form. Dart’s Dash also has larger blooms and a longer blooming season. It has immense hips with a thicker outer layer of flesh than any we know, making it ideal for rosehip jam. Dart’s Dash will bloom until hard frost. Virtually immune to black spot.

USDA hardiness zone: 2 (very, very winter-hardy)
