'Rugspin' rose Reviews & Comments

HMF's description of Rugspin has nothing to say about whether it repeats and, if so, how well. Can anyone help on this, please?

Meryl......

I put up the REFERENCE from Modern Roses 12, which says the rose is "recurrent", but I can't tell you if that means it "blooms in flushes" or if it has one big flush with occasional bloom later.

Smiles,
Lyn

Hi Lyn. I assumed the lack meant you didn't have enough info. Lets hope someone does.

Exactly. "recurrent" can refer to any rose that blooms more than once in the bloom season, but it doesn't necessarily tell you how often the bloom cycle occurs.

Smiles,
Lyn

I've put a few more references on. Lots of Australians grow this rose and should be able to contribute on its flowering season.
