Where's Carleen when we really need her? She'll pipe in soon, I'm sure, but 
until then I'm hopeless. Who else can help here? I did have a Rugosa 'Sarah 
Van Fleet' which had a lovely aroma but not one that would drift into the 
house. Beautiful blossoms and deadly thorns. Grew to 6' in its first summer 
from a two-year old
plant. Yowser!

Well, I planted it mid-summer of '00 and it happyily put out a couple of 
blooms...tissue paper thin and truly lovely but I don't remember that the 
leaves had much of a blue tone. Rather, a mid-darkish green - darker than my 
Rugosa alba, which is more of a light green. Love both but I suspect the 
Blanc will have a prettier
habit.
