Rosa rugosa is thorny and has lovely hips from which you can make your

Grevillea rosmarinifolia which we have badly sited on the corner of a
path here. That *really* bites and if only you could use
Agaves....................!


We're in the central belt of Scotland, just outside Glasgow. Anything too
tender isn't a option.

I do like the look of rosa rugosa - it's quite common around here, but I
think it might be a bit of a monster in the front garden.


All you have to do is keep it where you want it! And it may be that
you have found out WHY it's quite common round there!
