A David Austin introduction with a rugosa rose heritage, ‘Roseraie de l’Hay’ flowers prolifically all season.

On the other hand, harvesting rooted shoots from a suckering woody shrub, like twig dogwood, lilac, rugosa rose or raspberries, yields almost instant results and a new plant.

Look for it when the rugosa rose blooms in spring: The bumblebee can be seen rolling in the pollen-rich blossom like a puppy that’s just been fed.

Thus the holly, the Japanese barberry, many of the haws, the mountain ash, and the rugosa rose will be found in the shrubbery borders of many gardens, supplying the birds with food when the ground is covered with snow, and sprinkling the brightness of their red berries against the monotony of dull green conifers.
