This rose nearly landed in the fire pit last year. For a rugosa, it’s a bit finicky. The Hunder is a cross between a  ‘Rubra” (Rugosa) and ‘Indepence’ (Floribunda’). So it needs more care than the average rugosa. Mulching the base is a must. I tried cedar chips with little success. I moved it to a more sandy soil amended with plenty of compost. Added small rocks at the base to protect it from mud splashes. It worked, no black spots. It is also the only rugosa in my garden to get protection from winter colds.
