This rose is in its second year in my garden (Malta, z11).
The first year it had a main flush in May and then produced a single flower in the fall.
This year it had an earlier spring flush in April. It then produced a very light rebloom in early June. Now, in early August, I am seeing a cluster of flowerbuds forming on one branch.
The flowers from these flushes have less petals than the first ones, and ar a little darker in color, but the fragrance is just as wonderful.

2025 update: this rose has developed wonderfully in my z11 climate. It is actually living up to its nickname of "monthly rose" as it is almost never without blooms, although the first flush is the most impressive.
It has been disease free, aside from rust on a single leaf last year, which never manifested again after removing that one leaf.
It is grown in a gigantic pot, grafted on Laxa rootstock.

According to the Danish website Rugosaroser's page for this rose, Mont Blanc is a seedling of White Hedge. No source is given for this information however.

The correct spelling is rugosaroser.dk (there is an r missing at the end, in the description).

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!

I unfortunately had to get rid of this one. It's a very nice rose, but absolutely hated the heat. The leaves were left blackened, as if charbroiled, two summers in a row.
I was very sad to part with it. The blooms are beautiful and have great fragrance, and petal thickness is quite nice for a rugosa. It bloomed mainly in spring and then again in the fall but less.
The leaves on this rose are very large. A lot more than other rugosas.
