Notes

'Boruiwhiva' rose (Rosa rugosa 'Boruiwhiva') is a shrub for pollinator gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 2, or down to -50°F (-46°C). This plant likes full sun and average to moist soil. It has an arching shape and grows at a rapid rate. Butterflies, bees, and birds visit it, and the flowers are fragrant. It is not a favorite of deer or rabbits, though hungry ones will eat almost anything.

Pairs well with Nannyberry viburnum, Red fescue, and Giant Sungold sunflower.
