Linda Campbell hybrid rugosa

[Everbrown]

I bought this last year (mail order) and it came as a 18 inch or so with a 6 inch side branch in a quart pot plant. Not overly impressive but I gave it a reasonably good home in the dirt and it grew pretty well but did not flower. This spring it has grown to about 4 feet with quite a few side branches and the first flush looks to be 35 flowers or so ( It is supposed to be a good repeat bloomer through the summer).

I would say it was well worth the wait.

Do you know the name of it, any scent?

Linda Campbell is the name. Very little if any scent (with all the pollen blowing around currently I couldn't detect any scent with my sniffer )

Linda Campbell is a truly beautiful rose.
