Much
smaller than most rugosas, Fru Dagmar Hastrup only grows
to about 3 or 4 feet tall. It is a good choice for the smaller garden.
The blooms
are single and begin as deep pink which slowly unfurl to pale silvery
pink with yellow stamens. The foliage is a luxuriant green and crinkled
which is typical of the rugosas and the leaves turn purple and gold
after the first frost. It also develops a healthy crop of very large
rose hips in the autumn. The hips, coupled with a sprinkling of fall
blooms, make a beautiful combination.
