Remember that the species itself is a beautiful red single rose, and
that there is also a white hybrid. R rugosa "Alba", of similar habit.
Incidentally, they are both smaller than the large hybrids I mentioned
earlier. If your friend really intends to plant Rugosas, she should
consider getting specimens of both.


But also remember that they don't make a particularly nice-looking hedge
during winter.
