Could someone please tell me what the word rugosa means with plant
names? Often I buy plants and they have this word but I never know what
it means. Thanks

Rug as in carpet. Osa, the name of an important Prince of Hell according
to The Pseudomonarchia Daemonum, but also a word meaning Bear. Hence
rugosa means "demonic bear rug." When it needs ironing, it's the Wrinkled
Demonic Bear Rug.

Close, but not quite: Rug = toupee + Osa = bear-like = Grizzly Adam's
Toupee.

I've been looking for it myself. Could be it's not available to mere
mortals because of strict controlls on the so called "intellectual
property" rights. The best you can do is buy the cut flowers he
