[Rose-list] Re: Hansa

**"* <r*@transport.com>**

I love my Hansa, it's a wonderful bloomer with yummy fragrance. You
mention an entrance !  This is a very thorny rose and can get to be a
6-8 foot mound.  Hansa can tend to be rather leggy and open, more so
than other roses.  Blanc Double de Coubert is my favorite rugosa, a
pretty, smaller white rose with a lovely fragrance. Therese Bugnet is
also nice with less thorns, my mother's has very long canes.  Rugosas
are excellent plant and go roses.
