Roger's Red Grape

Vitis 'Roger's Red'

Roger's red grape (vitis 'Roger's red') is a vigorous hybrid between the native vitis californica and the European vitis vinifera.  It is a vigorous, deciduous vine, prized for its flaming red foliage in fall.

This vine either needs to climb or will become a mounding, spreading groundcover. It is great for covering arbors or fence and can provide good shade in summer.  It is best pruned and shaped during the winter before the appearance of spring leaves. It is said to have higher than average resistance to Pierce's Disease.

Roger’s red is also wonderful for wildlife.  It will attract pollinators when it flowers in spring, as well as birds and wildlife, which feast on the prolific bunches of small red grapes which ripen in late summer. Note that the fruit is toxic to dogs.

California Grape

Vitis californica

California grape (Vitis californica) is a vigorous, deciduous vine that can be trained to cover an arbor or fence or serve as a groundcover if left unsupported. Its edible purple fruit ripens in late summer (though it is toxic to dogs), and its large leaves turn brilliant shades of orange and yellow in fall.

This fast-growing plant thrives with water but is highly drought-adapted once established. While it can tolerate heavy irrigation, excessive growth may require regular pruning to keep it in check.

California grape provides excellent cover for wildlife. Birds and other animals rely on its fruit, bees are drawn to its flowers, and it is one of the best plants for supporting butterflies in the fall.

Desert Wild Grape

Vitis girdiana

Desert Wild Grape is a native vine or shrub that grows in southern California. It tends to grow in streamsides, at elevations from 0-4100 feet, but it is found in more arid areas than its close cousin, Vitis californica. It grows in southern oak woodlands, coastal sage scrub, pinyon-juniper woodland, joshua tree woodland, and riparian habitats. In the wild it tends to climb over other plants with stems reaching up to 50 ft. In the garden it can be trained to climb up a trellis, fence or wall. It is deciduous and is leafless for several months every year. The flowers are inconspicuous, followed by the edible fruits which attract many birds. It may not fruit reliably if too close to the coast.
