alrodenberg (verified owner) –
These haven’t been in the ground more than two months. One couldn’t contain itself and, at less than a foot tall, has already pushed out two buds. The other hasn’t bloomed yet, but then again my husband ran over it with the lawn mower. He now understands that a second attack on my Hansas may result in divorce, but it seems to have survived the decapitation and has nice dark green leaves … just real low to the ground. These two were part of my first order from high country – I have been a return customer at other rose specialists, but they seem to be perpetually out of stock with the Hansa rose. I was especially set on having a Hansa rose in honor of my grandmother (middle name Rose) who has a Hansa in her backyard in Alberta. Her Hansa has a glorious, spicy rose scent and I can’t wait until these two are fully grown and standing watch over the entrance to our driveway.
LUCY CORNWELL –
Hansa is incredibly strong and vigorous. Mine has been a survivor of tremendous abuse, bad weather, and drought, but continues to produce the most exquisitely fragrant flowers in my garden. Oddly–even though it isn’t light-colored– it has been a curculio magnet and even when the curculios haven’t invaded, it’s brilliant magenta flowers are short-lived and not very vase-worthy even though their perfume is amazingly heady. It is now HUGE and I regret putting it in an actual rose garden…best as a landscape filler but somewhere one can still appreciate the scent.
Sandra –
These are BEAUTIFUL!
Initially, I ordered these rises with 2 real purposes…rosehips & a privacy hedge but the bloom is beyond words.
And as a bonus (to me) our 2 wild baby bunnies apparently have a liking to the blooms too.
