rugosa means what?

Wrinkled

Wrinkled, often referring to leaf texturing.

Rug as in carpet. Osa, the name of an important Prince of Hell according to The Pseudomonarchia Daemonum, but also a word meaning Bear. Hence rugosa means "demonic bear rug." When it needs ironing, it's the Wrinkled Demonic Bear Rug.

Close, but not quite: Rug = toupee + Osa = bear-like => Grizzly Adam's Toupee.

Rosa Rugosa Trumponi => Resembles Donald Trump after being mauled by a bear and a love sick lumberjack, brought to you by Sesame Street and the letter R.

Do you have a nursery that sells this by mail? I think I have the perfect spot for that.
