'Fru Dagmar Hastrup' rose Reviews & Comments
-
-
From Marianne Ahrne, Sweden, who tells us the correct name of this old Danish rugosa is: "Fru Dagmar Hastrup'. Here is her explanation...
"This rose was a chance seedling found in 1914 in a field of Rosa rugosa at the Hastrup nursery in Vanloese near Copenhagen, Denmark by the owner, Knud Julianus Hastrup. His wife was called Dagmar Henriette Vilhelmine and I think it most probable that her husband named the rose for her. It has been grown under the name 'Dagmar Hastrup' (we never bother with the Fru) ever since 1914 in all the Scandinavian countries. There are no early records extant of this name but I think oral history counts for something, especially as 1914 is not exactly ancient history." |

you say occasional repeat on 'Frau dagmar hastrup' I find if you fertilize and prune that blooming is continuous.

This is a FABULOUS Rugosa Hybrid. I bought about 40 plants to line either side of my driveway as a hedge. Why? Because this rose scored a 10, with 1 being lowest and 10 being highest, in every category in every source I read. 10 for fragrance, 10 for disease resistance, 10 for repeat flowering, 10 for hardiness, etc, etc, etc. I recommend this rose HIGHLY! I have had my roses now for 4 years, and I have NO complaints about them whatever. They perfume the area of my driveway all season long!
