Rose bushes are perceived to be the most difficult of plants to grow. That may be true with Hybris Tea Types that act like the divas of the garden, but Rugosa types like Lotty’s Love™ These roses are the absolute definition of low to no maintenance. Lotty’s Love™ Rose has stunning 4inch semi-double blooms of the most shocking magenta. The fragrance that this rose has is an intense spicy herbal scent that attracts loads of native pollinators to your garden.
Rugosa type Roses have virtually no pests or diseases and will tolerate a wide range of growing conditions. The blooms will continue all summer long with no need to deadhead or cut back branches. The fruit that is produced after the blooms are spent is gorgeous and long lasting on the bush. Bright orange-red colored hips the size of cherries persist through the winter to provide high quality nutrition for any non-migrating birds.
Lotty’s Love™ Rose Care
Roses will grow and bloom best in full sun. Shade either in early morning or late in the afternoon is acceptable, especially in the hotter hardiness zones. Average soil texture and fertility with excellent drainage is the perfect spot to plant these deciduous shrubs.
Annual maintenance is very easy and straightforward. Prune out any diseased or dying branches early in the spring as the new foliage emerges. Suckers will sprout up around the base of this rose. Lotty’s Love™ Rose is grown on its own rootstock which is how it also multiplies. The suckers can be cut out beneath ground level at any time during the year to keep the shrub growing just where you want it to. Water Lotty’s Love™ consistently and well during the first 2-3 years to make sure that it establishes well and at maturity this rose will be very drought tolerant.
Lotty’s Love™ Rose Spacing
Shrub Roses look best when planted in large groups and as low growing informal hedges. Lotty’s Love™ Rose is a compact 3-4 feet tall and wide at maturity. Space plants at 3 feet on center to form a quick growing dense hedge.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)
We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die. Hungry animals, drought, poor soil conditions, over watering, diseases & pests are all good examples of what can cause plants to die. The Plant Addicts Warranty is a 1 year warranty protecting you from all of the unknowns and will replace your plant if something were to happen to it.
The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability). We may ask for photos for documentation purposes, but we try to make the process as easy as possible.

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
