Germination:
Sow about 1mm deep in a well-drained seed sowing mix. Keep
the mix moist for 2 – 3 weeks at a temperature of 27 – 32°c. After that period
keep those at 3°c for the next 4 months by which time it should be starting to

usually germinate in 30-365+ days, but even under good conditions germination
may be erratic.
Description:
Rosa rugosa alba (Rugosa Rose, Japanese Rose, or Ramanas
Rose) is a species of rose native to eastern Asia, in northeastern China,
Japan, Korea and southeastern Siberia, where it grows on the coast, often on
sand dunes. The Japanese name is (hamanasu), meaning “shore pear”.
This Rosa has perfect flowers, 2 1/2 to 3 1/2″ across, borne solitary or
in clusters. Looking like clusters of ripe cherry tomatoes, the white rose hips
are oval and glossy, lasting until late autumn. The hips are large, 2–3 cm
diameter, and often shorter than their diameter, not elongated like most other
rose hips; in late summer and early autumn the plants often bear fruit and
flowers at the same time. The bloom will continue sporadically until frost. The
sweet summer fragrance makes it especially nice near windows or walkways,
although it needs to be given space so that the thorny stalks don’t grow into
passageways. The leaves are 8–15 cm long, most often with 7 leaflets, each 3–4
cm long, with a distinctly corrugated (rough, hence the species’ name) surface.
The clean, beautifully deep green foliage of this rose distinguishes it from
most others. Fall color varies widely among members of this species, ranging
from yellow to bronze or an excellent orange red. It is a suckering shrub which
develops new plants from the roots and forms dense thickets 1–1.50 m tall with
stems densely covered in numerous short, straight thorns 3-10 mm long. The
stems are incredibly spiny, densely covered in short, gray, needle-like thorns
about 1/4 to 1/2″ long. Hardiness zones: 3-8, (-37°C/-35°F, -10°C/15°F) in
winter. It’s a carefree rose, picky only about drainage. It will grow in salty
conditions, shade, full sun, and poor soil, so long as it’s well-drained. Along
the East Coast it even grows right in the sandy beaches!
