Judy Morrison, Mistydowns: Anne Hall a new seedling rugosa rose introduced into Mistydowns will certainly keep the dog out of the vegetable garden. its dense stout branches form a fabulous bristly thicket that will deter even the most discerning dog. The foliage is like glossy, deep green, crinkled leather that just screeches strength and vigour, this then turns golden yellow with tinges of red in autumn. The flowers are double with in turned petaloids in the centre and are of clear rose pink and have that heavy exotic rugosa fragrance. But for most unusual and best of all about this double cluster-flowered rugosa is that it bears large round hips of not quite ripe tomato colour in autumn. It gives three distinct seasons of different colour each sprinkle with clusters of rich rose pink flowers, birds, hips, Autumn foliage, winter tracery. it all sounds so colourful and busy, but my garden gypsies are carefree with few needs and definitely suit the modern gardener.
