According to my research, if you want rose hips, Rosa Ragosa is the way to go. I planted a bare root plant which exploded with growth in its second season. The foliage is gorgeous, the thorns are wicked! The first bloom opened today and it’s a beauty… smells wonderful too!

Guess how many pomegranates are in these containers…
A lot of pomegranates on my lone tree this year. Far more than it’s ever produced before. Shown here is what I could reach from the ground. The larger container is 10 gallons. The tree is about 6 feet higher than the gutters on my house.
Take a guess?
