    'Hansen Hedge Rose' Reviews & Comments

    RoseHansen's Red Hedge
    Initial post 17 JUL 16 by true-blue
    I am not sure if there is a listing for this rose or if the original Red Hansen/Hanson's Hedge is correct.
    I first saw the name in the book:
    http://www.extension.umn.edu/garden/yard-garden/flowers/roses-for-the-north/
    North Dakota extension has photos of the rose, plus complete description, however, it is not a red but a light pink rose hardy to zone 2:

    I am not familiar with a "Hansen's Red Hedge" but grow a "Hansen's Hedge Rose". It is the one shown in the link you posted...

    I believe it was introduced by SDSU as windbreak material. Whether it was "developed" by selection from open pollinated seeds or by cross breeding I am uncertain. I'll try to find out.

    Margit,
    Thanks for looking into it.
    The reason I posted it here, is that there is no listing for Hanson/Hansen Hedge rose on HMF.
    And this is the only rose listed "Hedge" rose, that was hardy to zone 2.

    I think HMF needs to open a listing for Hansen/Hanson hedge rose.

    It is possible that this is the Red Hanson/Hansen hedge rose:

    What about if we add to the 'Hansen's Red Hedge' file:
    synonyms of
    Hansen Hedge Rose
    Hansen's Hedge Rose
    Hanson Hedge Rose

    That way all the valuable information in your comments are in one place and with time, details of this / these roses may come clear.

    Thanks Patricia

    That should work.

    Thanks Patricia.

    This helps to have the regrouped. Until more info about them could be found.

    Also shouldn't it read instead of :
    Medium red Shrub.

    Medium pink/ red shrub?

    Medium red shrub Is what the Americican Rose Society say for 'Hansen's Red Hedge'.
    Down further on the page under bloom, HelpMeFind shows red or pink.

    For some reason, I have to cut my post into several smaller ones:
    The photos on this site, look like a generic Hansa colored Rugosa:

    this nursery says:

    http://lincolnoakes.com/stock/pc/viewPrd.asp?idproduct=389
    Thought originally to be an SDSU selection of Rosa rugosa x R.woodsii.
    Which SDSU, I assume being South Dakota State University.

    Whereas the Alberta government's site considers it, a single pink rose from Asia:

    Some other sites mention flowers are pink to white, fragrant.
