Wild Rose Hedging Plants

Wild roses are enormously tough, thorny and disease resistant, excellent in mixed hedges or as wildlife friendly shrubs, popular with small nesting birds.

They are ideal for planting in areas where they will get little attention after they establish in their first year. They will all grow in damp, shady places and dry, exposed sites with poor soil.

Rugosa varieties* are the best for dry soil in shade, useful for protecting a gloomy edge of a sandy garden from people and animals; we recommend Roseraie de l'Hay for its superior ornamental value. 

To give a rose hedge a better upright structure, interplant it with Hawthorn.

*Rugosa roses are not native and are a Schedule 9 plant: only for garden use. It's illegal to plant them out in the wild, like a country hedge, or cause them to grow in the wild by planting them along a boundary onto land where they can easily spread. This is not a concern in urban areas, nor in most suburbs.
