462-001     Raoulia australis  
Sun     Zones 8, 9 Yellow flowers
New Zealand. Raoulia australis forms an incredibly tight ground cover. The small silvery foliage is so dense and thick it feels hard to the touch. Sensitive to winter moisture, but this has survived in our garden for many years sometimes dying out in the center. It is so unusual, it is eye-catching.  Summer. bloom   1/2 in. x 12 in.

069-001     Rehmannia elata     ( Chinese Foxglove )
Sun, Part Shade     Zones 8, 9, 10 Purple Pink flowers
When Rehmannia elata is in bloom, it is one of our most-requested plants. The eye-catching, tubular, open-faced flowers face outward from tall spikes. When they are fully open, the 3-to-4-inch-wide flowers reveal their yellow throats which are lightly freckled in red. The basal foliage forms a rosette of large, fuzzy, lightly lobed mid-green leaves. In habit this perennial is relaxed. Allow the long blooming spikes to mingle with their neighbors in an open or partly shaded garden.  Summer. bloom   3 ft. x 20 in.

452-001-1     Rhamnus alaternus 'Argenteovariegata'     ( Italian buckthorn )
Sun     Zones 7, 8, 9 Yellow Green flowers
Rhamnus alaternus 'Argenteovariegata' ('Variegata') is a mediterranean shrub and prefers a sunny, warm, well-drained site. The dramatic creamy margins on the rounded, grayish evergreen leaves make it especially welcome in the winter garden. The flowers come in a flush in early summer but the foliage is so attractive, you scarcely notice them. The later red fruits are very attractive before they age to black.  Early summer. bloom   15 ft. x 12 ft.

452-001D4     Rhamnus alaternus 'Argenteovariegata'     ( Italian buckthorn )
Sun     Zones 7, 8, 9 Yellow Green flowers

452-004D4     Rhamnus californica 'Seaview'     ( Coffee berry )
Sun     Zones 7, 8, 9 Cream flowers
This fine evergreen shrub was introduced by the legendary Sarotoga Horticultural Foundation in its efforts to promote California native plants. Although the literature says that Rhamnus californica 'Seaview' grows three-feet tall and six-feet wide, we have found that it reaches about 5 feet tall and wide in our garden, perhaps due to regular watering. The flowers emerge in axilary clusters and, although they are quite small, they attract all kinds of pollinators. Fruits are a little larger than a quarter-inch in diameter. They begin green and mature to red and finally black. They are beloved by small mammals and birds. The leaves are oblong in shape, mid-green in color and, at first glance, look smooth with a dull gloss. However,a closer examination reveals that their veins are recessed and the leaves have a slightly puckered feel. Use this shrub in a low-water garden or a pollinator garden.  Late spring, early summer. bloom   5 ft. x 6 ft.

459-001D4     Rhaphiolepis umbellatum minor  
Sun     Zones 8, 9, 10 White flowers
Japan, Korea. Rhaphiolepis umbellatum minor is a pleasing small evergreen shrub with dark green, glossy leaves that have pale green reverses. Near the tips of the stems, the contrasting young foliage is apple green with reddish margins. Many of the leaves have wavy edges giving the entire plant an undulating appearance. The leaves are arranged in stiffly upright whorls up reddish stems. After 12 years, our plant is over 3 feet tall with similar width.  Early summer. bloom   3 ft. x 3 ft.

781-001-1     Rhodotypos scandens  
Sun, Part Shade     Zones 5, 6, 7, 8 White flowers
China, Japan. Rhodotypos scandens is a medium sized deciduous shrub that grows on the north side of our Four Seasons Garden. We admire its deeply veined, corduroy-like leaves and the papery, white, four-petalled flowers that grace its stem tips. Glossy black berries appear in late summer.  Spring to early summer. bloom   5 ft. x 5 ft.

923-002D4     Rhus trilobata     ( Sumac )
Sun     Zones 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 Yellow flowers
From Washington to California eastward. This adaptable shrub was used by native North Americans for medicinal purposes and as a source for dyes. Although it is sometimes called skunkbush because of the odor its leaves emit when crushed, that name does not suggest the beauty of Rhus trilobata. In the spring, short panicles of yellow flowers emerge before the shrub leafs out. When the leaves emerge, they are green above, but pale on their reverses. Small red fruits are set from August to October when the leaves begin to turn red and orange. Indeed, in our area, this is one of the most reliable shrubs for an autumnal show. Because of its suckering habit, it is excellent holding soils together on a bank or a slope.  Spring. bloom   3-6 ft. x 6-8 ft.

526-004-1     Ribes alpinum 'Aureum'  
Sun     Zones 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 Green Yellow flowers
The foliage of Ribes alpinum 'Aureum' is bright yellow-white fading to pale yellow as it ages. This is a female plant which will bear red fruits in late summer.  Spring. bloom   2 ft. x 3 ft.

526-023D4     Ribes davidii  
Shade, Part Shade     Zones 7, 8 Greenish White flowers
There is a need for attractive, low, evergreen suckering shrubs that are suitable for woodland areas. Ribes davidii fits that description. Its leathery leaves, which are lightly toothed along their edges, take on red tones during the winter. The leaves measure a little more than an inch in length and an inch in width at their largest. This shrublet has both male and female flowers - the male being upright and the female found in clusters of 2 to 3 at the leaf-axils. Our plants have not fruited but we are told that fruits will be small and purple. This is found in mixed deciduous and evergreen forests as well as on slopes and in rocky areas in its native range in China.  Spring. bloom   1 ft. x 3 ft.

526-005D4     Ribes gordonianum  
Sun, Part Shade     Zones 6, 7, 8 Green/White-Red flowers

Part Shade     Zones 6, 7, 8 Pink flowers
We were introduced to Ribes sanguineum 'Brocklebankii' by our friend Jim Fox. It is not nearly as quick to mature as the others forms we grow. Its bright yellow spring foliage cools down into chartreuse shades by summer. Protect it from hot sun.  Early spring. bloom   4 ft. x 4 ft.

526-022-1     Ribes sanguineum 'Elk River Red'     ( Flowering Current )
Sun, Part Shade     Zones 6, 7, 8, 9 Rosy Red flowers
Reports vary on the ultimate height of Ribes sanguineum 'Elk River Red' but in our garden it has been slow to grow. From our research, we find that this was collected in about 1970 at Elk River which is near Port Orford, OR. Our experience also confirms reports that this is early to bloom, a few weeks earlier than the well-known Ribes 'King Edward VII'. We admire the bushy habit of this shrub and the gayness of its flowers during a chilly time of year. It is equally admired by resident hummingbirds. In the autumn, the shrub bears dark fruits that are covered with a whitish bloom. The 5-lobed leaves turn an attractive golden color before they fall.  Spring. bloom   6 ft. x 4 ft.

Sun, Part Shade     Zones 6, 7, 8 Dark Scarlet flowers
Ribes sanguineum 'King Edward VII' is the darkest red flowering of all the Ribes we grow. It is hard to resist the color red in the early spring garden. Our hummingbirds agree. Persistent dark blue fruits appear in summer. The foliage takes on amber and gold tints in autumn. A Great Plant Picks selection.  Spring. bloom   6 ft. x 6 ft.

526-014D4     Ribes sanguineum 'Mesa Red'     ( Flowering currant )
Sun, Part Shade     Zones 6, 7, 8 Violet Red flowers
Perhaps it is quibbling over minor differences, but the flowers of Ribes sanguineum 'Mesa Red' have more violet in their red. The hummingbirds don't seem to mind however, and the shrub provides them with both food and nesting cover.  Spring. bloom   10 ft. x 8 ft.

526-016D4     Ribes sanguineum 'Pokey's Pink'     ( Flowering currant )

526-008D4     Ribes sanguineum var. glutinosum 'Claremont'     ( Flowering Current )
Sun     Zones 7, 8, 9 Pink flowers
This open-habited, deciduous shrub was named for the town of Claremont, CA, home of Rancho Santa Ana Botanic Garden which introduced it. Although the variety is found in coastal ranges in Santa Barbara County, it has been happy in our garden in the Pacific Northwest for more than a decade. The leaves of the variety are softer green than our own native. The flowers of Ribes 'Claremont' have paler centers. Hanging in showy eight-inch long clusters, their color darkens as they age. In the fall, the shrub bears rounded dark fruits that have a white bloom on them.  Spring. bloom   7 ft. x 5 ft.

Sun, Part Shade     Zones 6, 7, 8 Red flowers
Adding yet another feature to this already splendid shrub, the variegation of Ribes sanguineum 'Variegata' is more of a misting of cream than bars and stripes. As the leaves age the cream mellows to a milky white. Try growing a 6-8 ft. Clematis through its branches to extend the bloom period.  Spring. bloom   6 ft. x 6 ft.

526-017D4     Ribes sanguineum 'White Icicle'     ( Flowering currant )
Sun, Part Shade     Zones 6, 7, 8 White flowers

283-007-1     Rodgersia pinnata 'Superba'  
Part Shade     Zones 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 Pink flowers
Bold foliage gives a sense of drama to a garden but, at the same time that it draws the eye, it also helps to anchor a border. There are few plants that can rival the many species of Rodgersia in creating this effect. Rising on three-to-four-foot ruddy stems, the great three-foot leaves present quite a spectacle. They are divided into anywhere from five to nine leaflets in a pinnate fashion as the species name indicates. Each leaflet is deeply etched with veins and crinkled in appearance and usually has a bronze flush along its edges. The flowering stems are also reddish and bear one-to-two-foot panicles bearing clusters of small, pink star-burst flowers. Rodgersia pinnata 'Superba' is found near stream sides and in damp woodlands of Sichuan and Yunnan provinces in China and so it needs regular water throughout the growing season.  Mid- to late summer. bloom   4 ft. x 3 ft.

283-004-1     Rodgersia podophylla  
Part Shade     Zones 5, 6, 7, 8 Creamy Green flowers
From Japan, Korea. Perhaps the most beautiful garden setting we have seen for this herbaceous perennial was in a streamside garden in Scotland where this bloomed amid blue himalayan poppies. Despite its love of moist sites, this has thrived in our hillside woodland garden with regular watering only once every seven to ten days. Its 16-inch leaves are flushed bronze in the spring, turn glossy green in the summer, and can turn ruddy in the autumn given the right circumstances. The 5-foot flower spikes bear foot-long panicles of small, starry flowers. Rodgersia podophylla qualifies as a "bold" foliage plant.  Mid- to late summer. bloom   5 ft. x 6 ft.

283-009-1     Rodgersia podophylla 'Rotlaub'  
Part Shade     Zones 5, 6, 7, 8 Creamy Green flowers
From Japan, Korea. This selection of Rodgersia podophylla has deeper red foliage earlier in the spring than does the pure species. Both are bold foliage plants for the shade garden. While it appreciates and is likely best in moist soil situations it performs well in our open woodland garden with intermittent summer moisture.  Mid- to late summer. bloom   5 ft. x 6 ft.

320-032D4     Rosa foliolosa     ( Prairie Rose )
Sun     Zones 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 Pink flowers
Our thanks to Linda Beutler, rosarian and clematarian, for introducing us to and allowing us to cut this rose in her garden. This is a species from the Texas, Arkansas and Oklahoma area that we have come to appreciate as it has matured in our garden. Although it is suckering, it has remained quite compact after more than a decade. The compound leaves are made up of nine lanceolate leaflets (four pairs and one terminal) along wiry purple stems. The single flowers in our form are bright pink and have a wild fragrance. One nice feature of this rose is that it has only a few thorns and so it is easy to handle. The small rounded red hips of Rosa foliolosa are produced in great abundance and persist from late summer through autumn.  Summer. bloom   6.5 ft. x 4 ft.

Sun     Zones 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8 Pink flowers
Rosa glauca (rubrifolia) is perhaps the most popular rose in our garden. We grow it in the Dry Border, but we have also seen it perform beautifully in gardens where it receives regular water. In spring, the soft, single, pink flowers glow against the purple infused blue foliage. In the fall, the show goes from pastel to orange when the brilliant hips put on a show contrasting with the dark purple asters below them.

320-090D4     Rosa 'Munchen'     ( IG 83 Munchen )
Sun     Zones 6, 7, 8, 9 Coral Pink flowers
We have grown Rosa 'Munchen' for about 15 years in our rose-Hydrangea border. It is has proven to be both a strong grower and disease free. Once it starts blooming in mid-June it is continuously in flower with clusters of 2.5-inch coral pink flowers. The fragrance is light but spicy sweet and as with most roses the fragrance is more noticeable in the fall as the temperatures cool down. I have found that Rosa `Munchen' needs very little tending or pruning to be happy. For me it is always a joy to see Munchen still well in flower right up to our first heavy frost. If after reading this description you think I like the plant a lot, you are correct.  Continuous from June to Frost bloom   3.5 ft. x 4 ft.

320-005D4     Rosa 'Mutabilis'  
Sun, Part Shade     Zones 7, 8, 9 Yellow, Orange and Red flowers
This is generally considered a China Rose and often sold as R. chinensis 'Mutabilis' or R. x odorata 'Mutabilis' among other names. Because of the delicacy and shape of its single petalled flowers, it is referred to as the Buterfly Rose as well. The cultivar name, however, is perfect. It describes the incredible transformation that the flowers undergo as they emerge honey-gold from their red buds, change to coppery pink and finally become red pink. This show takes place with each bud from late spring to the autumn. The roses have a light scent. In general Rosa 'Mutabilis' is grown as a smaller shrub but it can sport branches up to 10 feet and be grown as a climber. The purple stems and somewhat glossy foliage are other features that have lead to its long-time popularity.  Summer. bloom   4 ft. x 3 ft.

320-112D4     Rosa odorata 'Viridiflora' (x)  
Sun     Zones 6, 7, 8, 9 Green flowers
As far as we can determine from the literature, this fascinating Chinese cross between R. chinensis and R. gigantea became known to the West about 1833. It is distinguished by its very green flowers and its up-right habit. The two-inch flowers are rosette-shaped and double, their narrow petals gradually turning purple green with age. At first glance, it sometimes takes a second to realize you are looking at flowers because they are so close in color to the foliage.  Spring to autumn. bloom   30 in. x 24 in.

320-039D4     Rosa pisocarpa  
Sun, Part Shade     Zones 7, 8, 9 Pink flowers
British Columbia to Northern California. This is one of the roses native to the woods along the Cascades Mountains. Our friend Linda Beutler, who has often advised us on roses, realized that we did not have this rose and brought us a specimen. With its dark red stems and its lovely pinnately compound foliage composed of 5 to 9 leaflets, this is certainly a rose worthy of the garden. The small, pink, single roses are carried in cymes of up to ten blooms. In late summer, red, pear-shaped hips develop and persist on the stems as the foliage turns yellow and red in the autumn. Botantists consider this rose an indicator for wetland areas but it seems perfectly happy in our garden where it is well-watered once every week or two in the dry summer.  Spring to summer. bloom   3-6 ft. x 3 ft.

320-037D4     Rosa pomifera  
Sun, Part Shade     Zones 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 Pink flowers
Our friends Ernie and Marietta O'Byrne introduced us to Rosa pomifera. We have found it to be suitable for either an open woodland or full sun setting. The blue green leaves, which smell of apples when crushed, make an attractive backdrop for the bountious single pink roses. It is in the late summer, however, that this rose really shows off when its extra-large hips, the size of small tomatoes, begin to turn red orange.  Late spring. bloom   7-10 ft. x 7 ft.

Sun     Zones 6, 7, 8, 9 Medium Pink flowers
This is the climbing form of the old minature rose 'Pompon de Paris' (1839). It is a strong grower and after the initial mass bloom in May continues to bloom moderately until the end of the growing season. While most reference sources say the climbing Rosa 'Pompon de Paris' grows to 10 feet, a friend of ours, Lucy Hardiman says that hers grows to nearly 20 feet in two years in her Portland, Oregon garden. She also cuts it nearly to the ground in alternating years and the plant grows back and is of a good size by early summer. I have never been that aggressive in pruning a climbing rose. The medium pink flowers are lightly fragrant and very double. A real plus for this rose is its disease resistance in our maritime Nothwest gardens, no blackspot, no mildew and no rust.  Late spring to early fall bloom   15 ft. x 4 ft.

Sun     Zones 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 Peach flowers
Developed by Harkness Roses, England, in 1981. In our rose and clematis garden, we needed a low rose with coral tones to complement the other perennials nearby. Fortunately, we chose 'Rachel Bowes Lyon' and have been happy ever since. The simple peach colored flowers are mid-sized and appear in cluster. The moderately fragrant flowers continue throughout much of the summer. We are especially fond of the color echo between this rose and Crocosmia 'Culzean Pink' which grows behind it.  Summer. bloom   5 ft. x 4 ft.

Sun     Zones 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 Fuchsia Pink flowers
A hybrid with a good deal of Rosa rugosa heritage, Rosa 'Therese Bugnet' really doesn't look like a rugosa. 'Therese Bugnet' is, however, a very srong grower and has been totally free of blackspot, mildew and rust in our gardens The very double fuchsia pink flowers are about three inches in diameter and are highly fragrant.

454-010     Rubus ursinus     ( California dewberry )
Sun, Part Shade     Zones 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 White flowers
Rubus ursinus is a rambling West Coast native that has been used in the development of many well-known cane-berries like Loganberry and Boysenberry. Our collection comes from a local mountainous forest at about 3000 feet in elevation. There, the woody shrub is diminutive, only about 8 inches in height, and rambles in the shade with many glistening dark fruits. We grow this closer to sea-level in full sun and the shrub has gotten taller and happier. We have found that, like all cane-berries, it must be managed to keep it in bounds and to get the most of the delicious, small but intense berries. The berries form on two-year old wood. Rubus ursinus is dioecious, meaning that it has male and female plants. Because our plants are seedlings and have not flowered, we do not know their sexes. Even non-fruiting plants make good candidates for holding the soil on difficult part-shade hillside or in all native gardens. The foliage is attractive but please remember that it is prickly.  May to June bloom   1 ft. x 10 ft.
