Explorer Rose Series Hybrid Rugosa
Charles Albanel
Charles Albanel is one of the
lesser publicized member of the
Explorer Series of winter hardy
roses. This is really too bad for it
blooms all the time and is one of
the few rugosas to always be in
bloom.
Zone 2 Svjeda Agriculture Canada 1982

This lovely garden rose bush has double flowers have a bit of a reddish
tinge to the flower that are born in clusters steadily all summer and fall.
Nice coloured fall foliage of red and bronze. Blooms are fragrant  but do
nothave that strong rugosa fragrance.
Charles is a  low 3.5", dense bush that can spread to as wide as it is tall on
it's own roots. As you can see from the pictures it makes a wonder low
hedge.  Very healthy and trouble free garden rose bush.


Hardy to zone three with no dieback.
