I planted several Coral Miracles in my garden this year; it's become one of my favorite roses. I got behind on deadheading and noticed that this rose puts on very large hips. Does anyone know if they are decorative in the fall and winter? I don't want to cut them off if I can look forward to very large red or orange hips on these roses. Thanks!

Hi Carol,

It's great to hear Coral Miracle is doing well for you in Seattle. It does form a great many large decorative hips and they do persist long enough, I am guessing, to be decorative.

We need reports from colder climates like yours to update information.

Happy gardening! Thanks, Robert

Thank you so much, Robert. I'll try to remember to post a pic when the hips are fully developed this fall/winter. I'll also try to remember to give a report on how these roses are doing after a couple of seasons in my yard.

Great Carol!

Thanks for your input.

I'm still waiting to get hardiness reports on this one. My Daughter reports it wintered in Missoula MT very well.

I'm hoping for, and would expect, fairly solid zone 4 hardiness.
