    Has anyone used rugosa roses to shade their runs?

    Hey chickenpiedpiper. Thanks for the info. I do love burning bush, so maybe a dwarf variety. I love rugosas because I have a brown thumb and it is one of the few things (out of hundreds planted bk (before kids) that is still alive. It is not that invasive on our property. I think it must...

    Hey that is a great link. I found this site to order some. http://www.antiqueroseemporium.com/extracoldhardy.html Do you have a better source? This place has some of the roses Celeste recommends.

    Oh dear. I just looked up their website and they closed. It was the Rosarie at Bayfields. I loved going there in June. They had hundreds of hardy varieties, some vintage. Oh well.

    Our rugosas actually grew very quickly. I was just going to try digging some up and moving them. When one of our flocks free ranged, they loved going under these, but it is true that they are dickens to get if they won't come out. My kids are a good remedy for that. Of course they had the...

    We have lots of this around our yard and it seems like it might be one bush the chooks could get some shade from, but not completely destroy. I love rugosa....

    Has anyone used rugosa roses to shade their runs?

    I am able to make some improvements on my coop/run this spring after setting everything up last spring. I definitely plan on less free ranging for my chickies this year to make sure they are safe. I am thinking of transplanting some rugosas to give some shade for them. Anyone have any luck...
