Notes:

Tim Clapp of Mattocks Roses says, "Fragrance is absolutely imperative to me and I have three roses that produce superb scents. 'Roseraie de l'Häy' is a well known rugosa that can be planted as a hedge. I only have room for just the one, but it really stands out in a mixed border.

Sets few hips.
