Yellow is an unusual color among rugosa roses, and 'Agnes' is unquestionably the best of the bunch. This variety presents the finest rugosa attributes in both leaf and overall form. The doubled blooms present an old-fashioned appearance and a delightful fragrance more akin to antique roses. Sporting an apricot hue in cooler weather, 'Agnes' turns a soft yellow with warm temperatures.

Its flowers are followed by the best and biggest display of showy hips of any rugosa available. Quick to establish, it is an excellent choice for a low hedge.
