'Hansa' is a historic hybrid rugosa rose with large, double, magenta-purple, intensely fragrant flowers. It forms a dense, suckering, very thorny shrub with rugged, wrinkled foliage. Extremely cold-hardy, disease-resistant, and tolerant of salt and poor soils, it produces large red hips in fall. Ideal for hedges, coastal sites, and low-maintenance landscapes.
