| I really love this rose. I have three of them along my driveway and they're super healthy and vigorous, and smell great. They started blooming within the last few days. After enjoying everyone else's lovely photos, I'm glad to finally have some of my own to share. Can anyone speak to the lineage of this rose? It seems very unlike other rugosas. What other roses is similar to? |

| I bought one at Home Depot this year and it is growing well but no blooms. Is this a once bloomer or does it bloom throughout the season? Your photo is lovely. Judith |

| Loverly photo of a lovely rose. Many people like it very much. I love the story I heard on this very forum about 15 or more years ago. As most people know, the name of this rose is pronounced "Te-RESS Boo-NYAY". A forum member (I think from Texas, but memory may be tricking me) once said that she was so fond of this rose she had affectionately nicknamed it "Terry Bug Net". Terry Bug Net it has been to me ever since. Rosefolly |

| According to the lineage found on HelpMeFind, it has five or six different species in its background, and some form of Rugusa accounts for just over 25% of that. Other species include 'R. amblyotis', 'R. macounii', 'R. davurica', and whatever component of the mixed "University" pollen actually hit its target. :-) ~Christopher |

| Thanks for the compliments guys! Chris, yes, that makes sense about the species rose background. The foliage definitely shows that influence. Luckily, it's not a once-bloomer, although I've read mixed results on how well it repeats. I had some repeat throughout the season last year, but mostly it seemed to put it's energy into growing. I think they nearly tripled in size in one year. I'm hoping that as the bushes mature, I'll get more repeat bloom out of them. |
