Two interesting hybrid of R. rugosa that deserve a place in the garden for their hardiness and drawing flowers. The name derives from the characteristic pink wrinkled and thick veins running through the leaves making them rough to the touch.
Introduced in 1891, the Rosa rugosa 'Fimbriata' is also known as 'Dianthiflora' for its flowers like carnations (dianthus). It may form a shrub that can exceed 2 meters. high, the branches are very rich in spines, a feature common to the rough. It shows a good flourishing, its flowers opening show shades of pink pearly white in the fading with time, light but well have a pleasant fragrance. 
the 'Pink Grootendorst', introduced in 1923 is a mutation of 'FJ Grootendorst', a wrinkled red flower. Again the petals show the raw edge feature similar to 'Fimbriata' but are more numerous and the smell is faint, pink coral with shades open. Perpetual rustic and can reach a height of almost 2 meters.
