Rosa Rugosa

My son-in-law brought me two Rosa Rugosas from his plant which is huge. One died before I could transplant, but low and behold, the other one has taken off. It doubled in size in a weeks time and now has buds and blooms everywhere. No special care and it wasn't planted in the best spot, but it is thriving. An old time rose, it has multi-blooms. The only drawback - it is covered with thorns from base to flower. Smells terrific. (See picture in sidebar.)
