Landscape Qualities
Hansa Rose is a multi-stemmed deciduous shrub with an upright spreading habit of growth. Its average texture blends into the landscape | but can be balanced by one or two finer or coarser trees or shrubs for an effective composition.
Ornamental Qualities
Hansa Rose is draped in stunning fragrant semi-double violet flowers with fuchsia overtones and yellow eyes at the ends of the branches from early to mid summer. The flowers are excellent for cutting. It has dark green deciduous foliage. The oval compound leaves turn an outstanding orange in the fall. The fruits are showy red hips displayed from mid to late fall. The spiny brick red bark adds an interesting dimension to the landscape.
Planting and Growing
Hansa Rose will grow to be about 5 feet tall at maturity | with a spread of 6 feet. It tends to fill out right to the ground and therefore doesn't necessarily require facer plants in front | and is suitable for planting under power lines. It grows at a fast rate | and under ideal conditions can be expected to live for approximately 20 years.
This shrub should only be grown in full sunlight. It does best in average to evenly moist conditions | but will not tolerate standing water. It is not particular as to soil type | but has a definite preference for acidic soils | and is subject to chlorosis (yellowing) of the foliage in alkaline soils. It is somewhat tolerant of urban pollution. This particular variety is an interspecific hybrid.
