Dagens Rugosa, Louise Bugnet Alternativ

[Kajsa]

Louise Bugnet, Kanadaros av Georges Bugnet 1960, namnet på rosen efter hans dotter ( länge skrev man fel namn på rosen Louis som är ett pojknamn )
Blir en stor buske ca 2 x 1.5 m, tuff ros som klarar zon 7.


Själv tycker jag den rödvioletta kanten på blommorna är vackrast och röda knopparna


Rosen är alltid frisk men mina två buskar kunde väl blommat mer, efter ca 5 år klippte jag dom i botten i sommar, tyckte det var dags för lite föryngring.


Doftar gott, lite kryddigt, blommar hela säsongen, får en del stora orangeröda nypon.

Hvis teknikken står meg bi nå, så kan dere lese svaret fra det Kanadiske Roseselskapet:

Hi Dag Lyngar

Yes that is correct. The rose is correctly named ‘Louise Bugnet’, named after the third of Georges Bugnet’s seven daughters: Martha, Marie, Louise, Madeleine, Rita, Betty and Therese. Each daughter had a rose named after her, except Therese, because he had already named a rose this after his sister who was a nun in France. He did have four sons, Charles, Joseph, James (Jim) and Paul (who died in a fire at age two). There was no son named Louis. However there seems to have been a mix up for years and it is a lovely rose under either name.

It is described as a nearly thornless rugosa hybrid with healthy mid-green rugose foliage, growing to 1.2 m high. It has red buds opening to semi-double white medium sized (7.5 cm dia.) blooms. It is fragrant and repeat blooming. There are good photos of it on www.helpmefind.com/roses. It grows also in The Brooks Garden of Heritage Roses, Brooks College, Alberta, under the name ‘Louise Bugnet’. M. Bugnet lived nearby in Legal, Alberta, until he died in 1981 at the age of 101.

Glad to hear it is popular in Sweden and Norway. Hope this information helps. All the best,
