Killarney Raspberry
White Rugosa Rose

Killarney Raspberry is extremely robust, with some of the best cold and disease resistance available. This could be due, in part, to it being bred in Manitoba.

It is also known for its good flavor and for being firmer than other varieties, which lends to its use in processing like pies, jams, and jellies or for U-Picks.

Killarney Raspberry is a floricane-fruiting variety, meaning it primarily produces fruit on second-year canes (previous season’s new growth). They are also referred to as summer-bearing. In late winter or early spring, cut back all spent floricanes, leaving only last season's canes.

Raspberries are self-fertile, meaning they do not require cross-pollination from another variety to produce fruit.

White Rugosa Rose has many characteristics that will make it both a reliable and beautiful addition to your yard. Tolerant of many conditions and incredibly cold hardy, this rose can withstand salt, poor soil, and wind.

White Rugosa Rose produces white flowers that are attractive and pure white with a papery texture. It will make a great impenetrable hedge or border that is also deer resistant.

Note: This variety is from a seed source, not cuttings. Although somewhat true to seed and color expect some variability.
