When is the best time to prune a rosa rugosa?
Question by: Julie Garrels on Jan 21, 2021, 5:23 PM
Late winter to early spring, just as new leaf buds begin to swell, is the proper time to prune. Much later, and you may not be able to see the canes. However, only renewal pruning is necessary every two to three years for the plant to perform well. You can renewal prune to about 8-12"

What is it about this particular rosa rugosa that makes the rose hips strictly ornamental and not edible?
Question by: Arwen on Mar 16, 2022, 8:35 AM
The rose hips are edible, mainly used in cooking, preserving, pressing for oils. It may be best to avoid the seeds, as they can be an irritant to the GI system. We recommend doing your own research before deciding to consume any plant parts.
