I'm in the Oakland hills where we get quite a bit of fog at night that settles here. I've got a spot that gets about 6 hrs sun in the AM, and shade in the PM. Based on your experience, do you think Florentina would do well? Thanks so much.

Hi!
Yes it should do just fine. No more blackspot than any other healthy roses in our climate.

has anyone grown seedlings from Moje Hammarberg? I have a batch that I started from 2019 which were open pollinated, and they look like they might be large enough to bloom. not sure what to expect since there are no descendants listed on the lineage tab.
Thanks!

Hi, I know it's been a while but I'd love to learn about how those seedlings turned out. The lineage info says MH is a sport of r. Rugosa, so I wonder if MH managed to pass on its shorter stature or if the seedlings turned out larger? Were the blooms single or double? Any info would be great!

hey there. I have kept them in pots because they want to run like R. Rugosa. this may also be keeping them smaller than they want to be. I need to better evaluate them this year and I'll let you know or post pictures when they bloom.

Thank you! I'm glad to know that you were able to keep them in pots since that's how I would be growing any seedlings from her. Good to know about the runners too!

Oh no! I have one coming and get some fog/mist where I am in the evenings (East Bay hills) so I’ll definitely watch out for that. Thank you for the heads-up.

Some roses also get rust from chronic growth output with limited to no water intake. I have seen high output roses get it while young, and then never again once they have massive root systems established. Its sometimes hard to tell which roses only suffer during its maturation arc vs roses that are universally susceptible..
