Description
The English rose 'Wild Edric' is a sturdy variety derived from Rosa rugosa. It is exceptionally vigorous, hardy, reliable, and capable of thriving under challenging conditions. Its semi-double flowers, deep pink with purple and mauve reflections, are powerfully scented and repeat regularly on a rounded bush. It is also comfortable in flower beds, in slightly wild areas of the garden, or a countryside hedge. This variety combines qualities and, for all these reasons, deserves to be included in every garden.
This rose forms a bush with sturdy, thorny and ramified stems of 1.25 m (4ft) in all directions, covered with beautiful embossed and shiny foliage. It shows excellent resistance to cold and diseases, tolerates poor soils, provides a perpetual flowering and is pretty fruiting. This variety combines the beauty of flowers and their beautiful size and an enchanting fragrance. At first glance, it is both powerful and delightful. It is complex and different depending on whether it emanates from the petals or the stamens: the petals exhale a fragrance of old rose, with notes of watercress and cucumber, while the stamens develop a clove aroma. The flowers are born from charming pointed buds, purple-pink, which gradually open into semi-double flowers of deep velvety pink, nuanced with purple and mauve, revealing a bouquet of golden stamens. This variety requires no treatment. It won first prize in the BARB trials in Pencoed, Wales.
The 'Wild Edric' will be used in all problematic situations, partially shaded areas, and poor soil, where other varieties struggle to grow and bloom. If it is planted in ideal conditions, it will, of course, flower even more abundantly. It can be paired with other rugosa roses (Rosa rugosa scabrosa, Rosa rugosa rubra, Rosa rugosa alba) in flowering shrub hedges. Still, it also goes very well with old or contemporary roses.
"Wild Edric" was a Saxon Lord from Shropshire who, it is said, married a fairy queen. One day, he reproached her, and she disappeared. Legend has it that his ghost haunts the hills in search of her.

Planting and care
Plant your English 'Wild Edric' Rose in a sunny or lightly shaded location. English roses are tolerant, but they won't tolerate excessive limestone. They adapt to any garden if the soil is well-worked and sufficiently rich. To plant your rose, work the soil by crumbling it and place an amendment, such as blood, fish and bone, at the bottom of the planting hole. Water generously after planting to remove any air pockets. Water regularly for a few weeks to facilitate rooting.
Pruning English roses is generally necessary for flowering, although varieties derived from rugosa, like 'Wild Edric', can do without it. At the end of winter, shorten the branches to 3-5 buds above ground level (at the lowest), choosing an outward-pointing bud for a more elegant habit. Take advantage of this pruning to remove dead wood and unsightly branches. Prune at an angle above a bud. As the flowers bloom, remove faded flowers, stimulating the development of other buds.
Roses may appear unsightly at the end of summer due to staining. However, this is a natural phenomenon and does not affect rose growth.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
