You look like Einstein 🥰 You’re my garden scientist. I enjoyed this post very much. I have a Rugosa Rose in my garden that I planted last year. I really don’t know much about it so I am thankful for the information you gave.
Please do more of these videos. The gentleman speaking gives us an incredibly knowledgeable talk on his plants and it is fun to watch an expert talk about such magical subjects like plants.
I was thinking similar things, this man has hands that just don’t care. I’ve been to many meetings with this species with very dense clusters over the last few years and I have to say it’s one of the most violent species that I’ve encountered. 🧤
The video is an (epic) example of a Master Gardener and the Rosa Rugosa rose. I purchased several Rugosas within the past two years. They are totally capable of surviving my sub-zero garden zone. The Mountain Gardens is an awesome introduction to the Rugosa species. Awesome video !!!
That cultivar you showed is a different species, Rosa gallica. You can tell because the leaves are very big compared to the very small leaves of the Rosa rugosa. "Blanc double de coubert" is a beautiful cultivar of the Rosa rugosa, and has the characteristic small leaves
I always find it odd how almost every source whether the focus is gardening, cooking or herbal medicine wveryone always says how something is high in vitamin C yet the usage of these plants are almost always made into a tea or cooked into food, both processes of which destroy vitamin C. This rant has really nothing to do with this video other than he mentioned rosehips are high in vit C but i feel, for example, a tea company shouldnt be allowed to put high in vitamin C on their package of reabags fully knowing people are gonna steepnthat tea in hot water when vit C is water soluble and temp sensitive. I would also imagine most low to mid grade tea manufacturers are drying the herbs they use with heat, but idk for sure
