Rosa 'Mrs. Anthony Waterer'
The Hybrid Rugosa Rose (Rosa 'Mrs. Anthony Waterer') is a spectacular deciduous shrub with glossy, deep green foliage and large clusters of fragrant, semi-double blooms that appear in late spring or early summer. Coming in shades of pink and white, the showy flowers are followed by small, brightly scarlet fruits, which are edible and can be used to make jams and jellies. This hardy plant is disease resistant and requires little maintenance. Its vigorous, spreading growth habit makes it ideal for hedges and low screens, as well as for providing interest in borders and rock gardens.

watering
Hybrid rugosa roses (Rosa 'Mrs. Anthony Waterer') do best when given a thorough but infrequent watering. Water early in the morning, focusing on the roots of the rosebush. Soak the soil to a depth of 8-10 inches, letting the soil dry out between each watering. During the hottest part of the summer, water every 7-10 days. In cooler weather, water less frequently. Established roses may only need occasional watering, such as after a prolonged period without rain. Monitor the soil around the roses. If the top 2-3 inches of soil feel dry, it's time to water.
sunlight
Hybrid rugosa roses (Rosa 'Mrs. Anthony Waterer') enjoy full sunlight during the growing season. They need at least 8 hours of direct, bright sunshine each day during the spring and summer months. During the winter, hybrid rugosa roses can be allowed up to 5 hours of direct sunlight and partial shade for the remainder of the day.
pruning
Hybrid rugosa roses should be pruned once a year in late winter or very early spring, just before new growth begins. Start by removing any dead, diseased, or damaged canes. Cut back any stems that are growing too vigorously, as well as canes that are rubbing together or growing away from the center. Reduce the height of any stems that are getting too tall or wide, and shape the bush as desired. Prune back a third of the oldest stems, as they don’t always bloom as strongly as new ones. Avoid pruning stems that are still producing flowers. Finish by removing any suckers or root sprouts.
