Highbush Cranberry vs Red Rugosa Rose
Viburnum trilobum
Rosa Rugosa rubra
NOT AVAILABLE THIS SEASON
NOT AVAILABLE THIS SEASON
Highbush Cranberry produces attractive white flowers in late June and bears edible fruit that matures to a bright red colour in the late summer.
This shrub, native to much of Canada, is fast growing, and its fruit can be eaten raw or cooked into a sauce.
Red Rugosa Rose is well-known for its incredible cold hardiness and disease resistance. This variety has beautiful crimson red flowers followed by scarlet rose hips in autumn. Try using the rose hips to make syrups or add flavor to existing fruit dishes and drinks.
Due to their overly thorny stems, Red Rugosa Rose is perfect for creating an impenetrable, deer resistant hedge. We recommend applying mulch during the summer months to retain moisture, cool the roots, and prevent weeds.
Note: This variety is from a seed source, not cuttings. Although somewhat true to seed and color expect some variability.
