Rose Grothendorst is a varietal variety of wrinkled roses, which are better known to agronomists as rose hips or Rugosa roses. This plant has become famous all over the world due to its high decorative features. Perhaps most of all attention is attracted by the aroma of large terry inflorescences that stick around the bush. The first copy of the culture was obtained back in 1918 by the scientist and breeder De Goy; the rose was named in honor of his friend and colleague Grootendorst F.J.
