This week Hurdalrose - Norwegian rose Hurdal has delighted me with its abundant blooming.
It is an Alba hybrid, very vigorous & high, up till 3-4 m. Once-blooming spring or summer.
Almost thornless & mild fragrance. Dag Lyngar from Norway reports:
'Hurdalsrosen is perhaps the biggest alba in the World - in my garden 14 feet high = over 4 m.
It's believed that this rose came from the Giessen area in the south of Germany.
But this rose doesn't any longer exist there. In Norway it is one of our most common roses.
Hurdalen is a nice valley in Norway and the rose was brought to Norway about 150 years ago
with a young seaman who fell in love with the young daughter of the priest in the valley Hurdalen.
The name of this rose is now in the whole world called 'Hurdalsrosen'!'

Norjanruusu Hurdal on ilahduttanut tällä viikolla kauniilla kukinnallaan.
Se on hyvin voimakaskasvuinen, jopa 3-4 m. Lehdet ovat harmahtavanvihreitä ja himmeäpintaisia.
Pinkit kukat ovat keskikokoisia, puolikerrottuja ja miedosti tuoksuvia.

Hurdal kukkii noin kuukauden keskikesällä. Tekee runsaasti kiulukoita. Vähäpiikkinen.
