Botanical Name: Rosa rugosa 'Linda Campbell' ROE-sah roo-GO-sah Common Name: 'Linda Campbell' rugosa rose Genus: Rosa
'Linda Campbell' is a fragrance-free, true red rugosa rose. Though its foliage is not entirely rugose, little of its tenacity and vigor has been sacrificed for its smooth leaves and exceptional flower color. Handsome, glossy foliage and clusters of elegant buds open to bright blossoms. The upright habit of 'Linda Campbell' makes it a particularly nice addition to the back of a hot-color border.
 Noteworthy characteristics: Upright form; intense red flowers. Rugosa roses are listed as an invasive plant in some areas, including Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island, and Washington.
 Care: Provide full sun, good air circulation, and fertile, well-drained soil. Top-dress with compost after planting and every subsequent spring and fall.
 Propagation: Dig up suckers in fall and, with a sharp spade, cut the root that connects the sucker to the shrub as close to the mother plant as possible. Leave the sucker in place in the ground until early spring, by which time it will have developed its own root system. Transplant it to a more desirable location.
 Problems: Japanese beetles, rose stem girdler, deer.

This rugosa rose has flattened, symmetrical, semi-double, snowy white flowers with a spicy clove scent. The blooms display well against the shrub's dense growth of deep green foliage. Crimson-hued buds add even more color to this lovely variety. The blossoms don't drop cleanly, so deadheading is necessary.

A well-shaped shrub with dependable repeat bloom, 'Purple Pavement' has purple-red blossoms that are large, semi-double, and ruffled with a clear, bright, nonfading color and potent fragrance. It sports a good display of large, handsome hips and provides excellent fall foliage tones from yellow to maroon. A dependable performer, it is especially good for a late display, as fattening hips mix well with fall asters and other perennials featuring strong autumn hues.
