I own this cute rose. Its a very, very dwarf rugosa with dwarf foliage and small blooms in clusters. It makes a 2.5' tall, slowly widening ball (it has short runners) of rugosa cuteness that blooms once in early June. The colors are feminine yet rustic. The hips are probably the most painful in existence. The wither off entirely to nothingness by August. This rose is extremely xeriscape friendly. I water mine but I doubt it needs it. Ive never pruned it. There is no point. I like in ORegon so I am not certain of how it would behave in extreme climates of cold or heat since each parent is either polar/coastal or arid/desert in origin (ie. opposing climates).
