The fall color on 'Fru Dagmar Hastrup' tends to be more in the yellows
and oranges, but is still consistently good.

'Fru Dagmar Hastrup' is a much more broad-rounded, low-growing rugosa,
topping off at about 4'.  It's a lot less susceptible to disease and stem
girdlers than 'Therese Bugnet', and it also produces a lot more hips.
On the other hand, 'Therese Bugnet' has a much higher winter value with
those red canes.
