Therese Bugnet Rose

The 'Therese Bugnet' Rose, Rosa 'Therese Bugnet', is a hardy shrub rose with large, red to pale pink, double flowers that are very fragrant and bloom from mid-June until frost.

The blue-green, long narrow foliage with its red fall color makes an attractive addition to the landscape.

This Rose has its own root. The advantage of own root Roses is that once established they are very resilient. If winter's freezing breezes kill the top growth, the rose will grow back in the spring, and the recovered Rose will look the same as the one you purchased.

'Therese Bugnet' is a true zone 3 plant as its origin in Canada in 1950 might suggest. This plant is very hardy. The form is dense, upright, and mounding in full sun. 'Therese Bugnet' will bloom in part shade, but not as much as in full sun.

Use this plant as a border or hedge as it stays fully leafed to the ground. The canes turn red in the winter so it has great winter interest, especially when contrasted with snow.

Pruning to control size is best done in early spring before growth begins. Remove older canes to the ground and cut the younger ones back by 1/3 to control plant size, if needed.
