Time of Pimpinella Roses

The first roses to bloom in Finland are Pimpinella roses.

I have three types of them and this year this pale beauty gives me so much joy!

This Pimpinella ’Ruskela’ belongs to the so-called newly refound roses:

having their own root system (not grafted) they have spread and survived. This was found 

in the garden of the family Henriksson in Vihti, Ruskela. I have got this as a tiny root sprout 

at a plant swap happening. This year it blooms heavenly!

 Another Pimpinella is bright pink ’Poppius’, a very modest rose. In my garden I have four 

of these, growing in very demanding places. Got the root sprouts from a neighbour.

The white Pimpinella is ’Plena’ - somehow they call it today also

Rosa spinosissima or R. pimpinellifolia. These grew here when we moved to the house

and is the iconic Midsummer Rose = Juhannusruusu in Finland.

Happy Midsummer week!
