I have Hansa also, and mine also looks twiggy and half dead most of the

Does cal.net stand for "california," at least in

I'd been thinking of pruning, but have heard not to prune or fertilize
Rugosas. After reading your tale, I guess I'll just be content with the

Whoa, no fertilizer either? I do feed mine, not foliar,
just regular organics and granular slow release.

Other rugosa growers, what about ferilizing?
