Belinda's Dream Landscape Rose

Belinda's Dream Landscape Rose

This large shrub rose has fragrant, pink, double flowers that look like the classic hybrid tea rose, but the plant is tough enough to be considered a landscape rose. It’s a good shrub rose for the South because although it may get some diseases, such as black spot and powdery mildew, it is vigorous enough to outgrow the damage and rarely needs spraying. It can grow in a variety of soil conditions. This rose looks great in a mixed border with other roses and shrubs or used as a cutting rose for its fragrant, attractive flowers.

The Knock Out series of roses features varieties with red, pink, and yellow colored flowers. One of my favorites is the "Double Knock Out". It’s a good size plant that can be used as a landscape shrub around the house. The bright red double flowers bloom from spring until frost. The colorful fall foliage makes it attractive in autumn as well. In general, Knock Out roses are drought tolerant, hardy, and resist black spot disease. There are up to 25 flowers per branch and they have a slightly spicy fragrance.

Rugosa roses are known for their “tough as nails” reputation. They survive along the coast with constant winds, salt spray, and poor soils, as well as on rocky soils and in cold winters of the North. "Hansa" is an exceptional heirloom landscape rose because it takes the tough characteristics of the rugosa roses and combines it with the pleasant flower form and fragrance of a shrub rose. The deep red, very fragrant flowers bloom in early summer and repeat flowering all season. The puckered leaves resist major rose diseases and Japanese beetle attacks. The plant sends up suckers or new shoots from the roots, freely. It’s best grown as a hedge or screen to block access or a view. It can be severely pruned if it gets scraggily and will readily re-grow. "Hansa" produces large red hips in fall.
