'Purple Pavement' rose Reviews & Comments

I have a seedling of Purple Pavement that bloomed for the first time this spring. It looks like a typical rugosa (and has begun to sucker already), and is identical in all respects to PP except it is pure white. It is probably a self-pollinated seedling (there are no other rugosas nearby). I don't know yet if it will rebloom but it is a pretty rose.

It is a very nice rose indeed. It blooms more than my Purple Pavement, probably because of its location - in all day blistering sun with reflected heat off the pavement (PP is in a little more than half day sun). The blooms do not crisp :). It looks an identical twin to Purple Pavement (bloom size, size of hips, prickles, leaves, growth habit), but for the color. Hips are orange.

Most likely an OP. Yes. PP have very distinct rugosa-type foliage, that is very concentrated, more dense, and thicker than usual. If this were a non-op hybrid, these unique foliage traits would likely be diluted or changed in some way.
