Roses that are Classified as Hybrid Rugosas

The species rugosa rose hails from eastern asia; northeast china and the kamchatka peninsula. They are quite cold hardy and quite resistant to most rose fungal diseases. Furthermore, they tend be well branched, remontant, and to bear large flowers that may be very strongly fragrant. The list of specifications is unparalled by any class. The several species rugosas evidently come about as close to meeting the ideal as any of the hybrids; and this is where the class as a whole falls from stellar performance to 'pretty good.' As David Austin points out, the rugosa hybrids tend to either be very close in appearance to either the rugosa parent or the non-rugosa parent, never a very good interpolation between them. Furthermore because rugosas are diploid and most roses are tetraploid, further hybridizing is not possible.
