Sarah Van Fleet With one or two exceptions, Rugosa hybrids are very, very thorny. 'Sarah Van Fleet' is perhaps the most prickly of all. In good soil it makes a dense, upright-growing shrub to about six feet. Light green foliage. Unlike those of most Hybrid Rugosas, its hips are not particularly ornamental, so dead-heading is advisable and will yield many more flowers throughout the season.
