 The RHS Dog Rose (Rosa canina) is a large fast growing native rose, with prickly stems that carry clusters of single, scented pale white/pink flowers in summer, followed by glossy red egg-shaped hits in autumn. It is most useful in mixed hedges, as it has a scrambling habit so it forms an impenetrable barrier and will attract birds and deter intruders.
The RHS Dog Rose (Rosa canina) will grow in any suitable soil, in particular well drained soil in sun or shade and it will withstand strong winds.
