I much prefer Rugosa Jubilee for similar color and more reliable hip production. To be fair, my PP plant is in a rather shady spot, but so is Jubilee (right next to each other), and PP was planted a year before and had better initial growing conditions. Jubilee had very difficult initial conditions, including the very rough shipping, yet survived and thrived, bloomed and set hips its first year. PP has flowered very little in 2 years and has not set any hips. The flowers can be a strikingly gorgeous color, but most of the time are not and are also kind of messy looking. I prefer the clean, simple elegance of the flowers of Jubilee and the color is just as good, if not better. I might end up taking PP out. In spite of the shade, both of these rugosa's foliage is beautiful and disease free.
