Thérèse Bugnet
$25.95
Hybrid Rugosa (Georges Bugnet, Canada, 1941)
One of my all time favorite roses, I’m convinced Thérèse Bugnet will grow in ANY challenging condition. I’ve seen it growing in bad soil, shade, grueling sun, too little water, too much water, and even in the mountains at 8500 feet. Through all of those challenges, Thérèse Bugnet shines through producing long, pointed red buds that unfurl to reveal sweetly scented double, warm pink flowers. Throughout the summer, the shrub is attractive with lime green foliage and profuse blossoms. In the fall, the show doesn’t stop as purple toned foliage and red canes take over.
Bred by Georges Bugnet, a French-Canadian plant breeder who named the rose after his sister.

‘Extremely hardy’ doesn’t seem strong enough for everything I’ve put this rose through and it still grows. The blooms are so pretty and delicate looking, but it’s a vigorous plant and has so many points of interest. The canes are a striking red and thornless from about twelve inches up, and it put on some very pretty hips this fall.

My absolute favorite rose! I planted these because we have extremely cold winters (-30), and I wanted something I didn’t have to baby or worry about. This rose is not only hardy, but beautiful! I have half a dozen of these planted on my property and have even had some volunteers from the hips that have fallen. It blooms all summer long and my pollinators absolutely love it! It smells amazing as well!

One of my favorite roses out of the 140+ I’ve planted over the years. When it blooms, the cascade of gorgeous old fashioned blossoms is spectacular. And it’s amazingly hardy. I now have four of them around my garden,

We purchased this rose last spring and planted it right out front in a central location to honor the memory of a beloved pet kitty. With only one season to review, I wanted to make sure people know about the fragrance of this rose. It is simply divine. Probably one of if not THE most fragrant in our garden with a sweet candy-like old rose fragrance. Also, the leaves are unusual and elongated a bit. Very interesting variety and I expect it to be super tough as many have noted. I can hardly wait to smell the flowers again. Also, it’s nearly thornless and a fast grower which is interesting too if that is something important to you in the selection of this rose.
