Description: Rosa setigera is widely adapted to growing from our coldest climates to the warmest and is even found in Florida. It also tolerates a wide range of soil conditions and shrugs off disease like a champ! The flowers appear just once but usually between the first and second flushes of other roses, so it fits well in the landscape. The bristly hips and great fall foliage colors add even more interest.
