In addition to giving a wild and romantic air to your garden, rosehip roses are very resilient, with a great capacity for adaptation, particularly in semi-shade situations and dry soils and can be grown with ease. Their beauty lies in the abundance of cut flower arrangements of small single flowers with delicate stamens, which compensates for their often non-repeat flowering nature, and in their natural and elegant habit. Discover our selection of rosehip roses in pink.

The 'Kew Rambler' rose, ideal for large spaces

The rambling rose ‘Kew Rambler’ is vigorous and can reach heights of up to 7 metres! The bright pink of its lovely 4 cm flowers contrasts with the white of the centre and the yellow of the prominent stamens. It blooms in June and July, producing a multitude of small cut flower arrangements on bluish-green foliage. Its flowers emit a light musky fragrance. In autumn, they give way to small orange fruits and the leaves turn yellow. This variety was developed by the Royal Botanic Garden, Kew, in 1912. It shows excellent cold resistance and adorns your garden with its elegant branches, whether you have a large space to fill with flowers or wish to brighten up a tall thorny hedge.

The 'Nozomi' rose, an original creeping habit

Not all eglantine-flowered roses are climbing roses. The ‘Nozomi’ groundcover rose is a lovely example. With its creeping habit, it adorns gardens with its small, single, delicate flowers tinged with white and pale pearlescent pink, featuring a golden heart of stamens. Created by the Japanese rose breeder Onodera, it blooms from June to August, and in autumn, it bears charming little orange fruits, the hips, on dark green, coppery foliage. It looks stunning in a rockery but can also be grown as a small climber up to over 1 metre or enhance a slope with its trailing habit.

The rose 'Frau Dagmar Hastrup', a resourceful rose

It produces large single flowers of 7 cm from June to August, which open in a deep pink and then lighten over the months. The centre consists of yellow stamens and has a slight fragrance. The emerald green foliage is crinkled with a dentate edge. In autumn, the rose bears large red fruits on yellow foliage, which are edible and can be made into jam. With a suckering and thorny character, this rose is perfect for creating very dense small hedges of 1 metre in height or for use as groundcover. Very resilient, it requires little maintenance.
