heres something for you randy. it came in my daves garden weekly, its the flower of the week.( this is the rose that started the ones i sent you)

Japanese Rose
Rosa rugosa
The rugosa rose hails from the coastal areas of Japan and Korea. Its name alludes to its distinctive, wrinkly leaves. Like many species roses, it withstands black spot and mildew with aplomb, and thrives in poor soil. After putting on a show of fragrant blooms in pink or white tones, it sets large, gold or orange-colored hips making it a good plant for wildlife habitats. Adding to the list of virtues, rugosas are also salt-tolerant.

Numerous varieties have been introduced since the late 1800s, when several hybridizers focused their efforts on creating new crosses using this beautiful healthy, vigorous growing species.
