Vitamin-Rose 'Rosa Canina' / 'Piro 3'

AVAILABLE FROM OCTOBER - NOVEMBER WHILE STOCKS LAST!
This is one of the healthiest roses, as its fruits contain the highest vitamin C content of all rose hips. Rose hips are just as good as many ‘superfoods’ that make the heart of many a conscious eater beat faster! Besides vitamin C, rose hips also contain vitamins A, B, E and K. This Pillnitz Vitamin Rose 'Pi Ro 3' originated from a cross between Rosa dumalis and Rosa pendulina var salaevensis. The shrubs are vigorous growers in all soils and grow 1-2 meters tall, spreading widely and having very few thorns. The dark red hips are 3x1.5 cm, dark red and have a vitamin C content of 1150 mg per 100 g of fruit weight. Of course, we should not forget the preceding wonder: the numerous flowers (3-4 cm, single-flowered) are light pink and bloom in June. The leaves have a striking yellow autumn colour.
BECAUSE OUR ROSES ARE ONLY AVAILABLE ONCE (AT MOST TWICE) A YEAR, THE WAITING TIME CAN BE LONG.
