Frau Dagmar Hastrup – Rugosa Shrub Rose
Frau Dagmar Hastrup is one of the most admired and useful of all the Rugosa roses – a group celebrated for extraordinary toughness, exceptional disease resistance, and a robust, rewarding character that tolerates conditions that would defeat most other roses. Its flowers are a clear, fresh pink of great simplicity and beauty – large, single blooms with a light, pleasant fragrance – that appear in abundance from June and continue through the summer.
The great bonus comes in autumn, when Frau Dagmar Hastrup produces some of the largest and most spectacular rose hips of any shrub, large crimson-red globes that persist well into winter and provide exceptional wildlife value. Shade-tolerant and virtually indestructible once established, it is also an outstanding hedging rose.

✂️ Pruning Guide
Prune in late February or early March. Cut back main stems by one third and remove any dead, diseased, or crossing wood. Deadhead spent flowers through summer to encourage further flushes into autumn. Rugosa roses need minimal pruning – simply remove dead wood and lightly shape. Leave some hips unpruned for winter wildlife interest.
🌱 Planting & Care
Plant in well-prepared soil enriched with organic matter. We recommend adding Empathy Rootgrow mycorrhizal fungi at planting to establish a strong root system quickly. Water regularly during the first growing season. Feed with a specialist rose fertiliser in spring and again after the first flush of flowers. Rugosa roses are extremely tough and unfussy – they will establish in poor soils, coastal conditions, and partial shade with minimal intervention.

Shipping & Returns
Delivery cost £3.49 per order. Delivery 2-3 working days.
We use DPD for all our Bush rose deliveries & DX Freight for all standard roses, upon dispatch you will receive an email confirming your rose has been shipped and providing you updates through delivery confirming estimated time of arrival.
Unfortunately due to updated plant health requirements following Brexit we are only able to ship to Mainland (including Isle of White) UK excluding Northern Ireland.
Our standard delivery is 1 - 3 days from point of order although may be extended in busy periods. We do not post roses on Fridays. As our roses are live plants we sometimes delay sending in extreme cold or heat to avoid them perishing due to extended delivery times.
Bare root roses on pre-order will be dispatched in the Autumn / Winter, any orders placed not on pre-order will be dispatched on a Tuesday.
How will my rose arrive
We have specially designed boxes to ensure any roses bought from us will travel safely to your home.
Bare root roses are dispatched between October and February each year. We do allow pre-orders of bare root roses and will send them out once the stock is ready. It may be the case that some orders are fulfilled earlier than others depending on which varieties were on order.
Our new crop of potted roses are dispatched from October and will arrive as newly potted bare root plants. These are ok to be planted out straight away or you can wait till the rose has started rooting in and plant in the spring. Sending out these potted roses ensures you receive the best product as the rose remains well in moist compost through the journey and when planting you have a pot of our special blend of compost to get your rose off to the best of start.
In spring our roses will still be very small to look at but will have rooted into the pot and will be showing strong young growth.
May - September we will do our best to send out roses in flower or in bud but this will depend on the growing season as we may have to cut back the plant to keep them healthy with fresh growth.
How to care for Roses
All our roses arrive with our helpful rose care leaflet.

I used mail order for plants with Sarah Raven for the first time and was disappointed with the quality of everything.
This Rose arrived in good condition. It had been packed well. The foliage was good and it was already in bud. I have had several lovely flowers and am very pleased with the plant. I hope it will continue to thrive.
First time I’ve used this rose grower. It’s very early days, she’s just gone into the ground but looking good do far. Excellent service- thank you
