| Marie Bugnet Hybrid Rugosa 1963 |
| From our pioneer rose breeder George Bugnet( pronounced "boo-nay" not bug-net.) Lesser known than it's sister Therese Bugnet, Marie grows only 3' x3' and bears beautifully double, pristine white blooms. Very fragrant. She repeats very well for a rugosa and will be one of the first roses to bloom in the garden along with the Scotch Briar Roses and Harrisons Yellow. |
| parentage: a cross from Therese Bugnet x ukn seedling x F.J. Grootnedorst |
| Leaves do not look that much like rugosa leaves as they are hardly veined and fairly smooth and light green in colour. Stems are red but not as red as Therese. Sadly she does not set hips for fall showing. One of our favorites. Water her well in times of drought to prolong her blooms. Hardy to zone 3. |
| Sold on its own roots only. Fall'05 -one year plants, $12.00 |
