Rosa
hugonis ~ Father Hugo's Rose (syn. Rosa xanthina forma hugonis) |
| Rosa hugonis was
introduced to horticulture in 1899 at Kew Garden. Seeds came from
Northern China sent by Father Hugo Scallan. Rosa hugonis has
undergone a name change to Rosa xanthina forma hugonis. Rosa hugonis
is very successful in our gardens, clay soil or rocky soil, wet garden or
dry. The one time I moved a plant, it came back from the roots
. Rosa hugonis grows 4-8 feet tall and about as wide as tall.
We have had little problem with disease or pests. There is one
profuse late Spring bloom and a few repeat blossoms, particularly in the
Fall. Rosa hugonis is quite spiny and can be used as a hedge or
screen. Rosa hugonis is Winter hardy to zone 5.
