has anyone grown seedlings from Moje Hammarberg? I have a batch that I started from 2019 which were open pollinated, and they look like they might be large enough to bloom. not sure what to expect since there are no descendants listed on the lineage tab.
Thanks!

Hi, I know it's been a while but I'd love to learn about how those seedlings turned out. The lineage info says MH is a sport of r. Rugosa, so I wonder if MH managed to pass on its shorter stature or if the seedlings turned out larger? Were the blooms single or double? Any info would be great!

hey there. I have kept them in pots because they want to run like R. Rugosa. this may also be keeping them smaller than they want to be. I need to better evaluate them this year and I'll let you know or post pictures when they bloom.

Thank you! I'm glad to know that you were able to keep them in pots since that's how I would be growing any seedlings from her. Good to know about the runners too!

I unfortunately had to get rid of this one. It's a very nice rose, but absolutely hated the heat. The leaves were left blackened, as if charbroiled, two summers in a row.
I was very sad to part with it. The blooms are beautiful and have great fragrance, and petal thickness is quite nice for a rugosa. It bloomed mainly in spring and then again in the fall but less.
The leaves on this rose are very large. A lot more than other rugosas.

Added this rose a few months ago from Rosenschule Ruf, so I can't say much about it yet, except: Susceptible to powdery mildew.

Second year update: This spring has been a disaster for Chios. Every single bloom from the spring flush has balled or been bull-nosed, and the plant is a mildew factory. I have been spraying weekly with a milk/potassium bicarbonate solution to try to keep it under control, but the mildew seems tenacious on this one.
I really thought a rose from a Greek island would have done better than this here in another Mediterranean island. Weather this spring has been rather less rainy than normal, although still humid air, but again I didn't think air humidity would be a problem for a rose from a Greek island.
I will continue to hope for an improvement since Chios is so lovely when it's good.

Hello, greek here as well, im in crete. This rose is my best performer. The leaves are spotless, and its full of buds. Some are about to bloom, might even be open tomorrow. Now, I didnt know what balling is, and I searched it, some of these symptoms do appear, so im kind of worried now. Some of the outer petals on the blooms are brownish, thats the main symptom im seeing in my plant.
But I think itll be fine, ill post pictures if they opens tomorrow or whenever they open. I will also comment here again and inform you about what's going on.

I hope Chios is doing well for you.
One year later she's absolutely wonderful here in Malta. I guess 2023 was just a bad year for her, and also perhaps a bit my fault.
This time I didn't prune her as hard as before, and made sure to give her LOTS of water, and she has been perfect.
