Default How late can I plant rugosas?

Keep in mind that rugosas shoudn't be sprayed with *anything*
chemical. They don't like it at all. They don't even like to be fed
with a foliar spray. So, make sure that you don't put hem in proximity
with any plants that you might have to spreay, because even the
overspray can cause leaf damage.


That seems to depend on the variety - perhaps what else was hybridized to
create it. I've got a Hansa that's huge, a Delicata, and a Marie Bugnet
that don't seem to mind much, if at all. OTOH, rosa rugosa alba doesn't
like it at all.

The Marie Bugnet is a thrip magnet - sprayed frequently and is covered
with blooms all season long.
