Rugosa Redux

Note to self: it helps to include the photos of the flowers you are writing about when you create a blog post…

These are our pink rugosas. They aren’t long-stemmed roses, but instead bloom in clusters like you see here.

The buds are small compared to most hybrid roses, as the Rugosa has just a single circle of petals on each bloom, but just as lovely.

In addition to just one single circle of petals, rugosas have very distincive crinkled leaves… and this one has its very own bumblebee…

Bzzzzzzzzz – or is it just ZZzzzzzzzzz? Sometimes the bees really do seem to take a snooze in their favorite flowers!
