Sarah Van Fleet
(Hybrid Rugosa, 1926) – clear pink. Due to its Old Bush China parent this rose does better in hot climates than any other Hybrid
.Rugosa. It combines unbeatable repeat bloom with exceptionally lovely, ruffled flowers. The fragrance is wonderful, a blend of the
typical Rugosa spicy scent and the sweet pea like perfume inherited from Old Bush. There is only one thing to watch out for – The
Vicious Thorns! Sarah should be named Femme Fatale for the dangerous razor sharp knives she packs underneath her lovely pink
blooms. Winter hardy to zone 5.
