Complete Product Information for Wild Rose Red (Rosa rugosa 'Rubra') 60/80cms Bare Root 2yr old (1+1) pack of 25
The RHS Wild Rose Red (Rosa rugosa `Rubra`) is an upright, fast growing deciduous rose hedge that flowers for most of the summer, with masses of small bristle thorns and shiny, bright-green, wrinkled foliage. It produces highly scented large yellow-centred, dark-pink flowers June to September, followed by large round, red or orange hips in early autumn.

Rugosa plants grow from their own roots and their suckers will eventually flower, naturally adding to the bulk of the hedge and making it very easy to maintain. Once the hedge has achieved the desired height and width, you can start pruning out older less productive shoots. You can be quite tough with rugosas, as they will produce flowers from new growth as well as old. Infact you can prune the whole hedge down by about half if it has grown too tall.

The RHS Wild Rose is suitable for all positions and soils, thriving most in salty conditions, shade, full sun, and poor but well drained soil. It is tolerant to salt spray and semi-drought resistance, making it an ideal screen along surfaces. It may also sprawl a little, but trim in winter as necessary. For hedges 4-7ft (1.2m-2.1m), plant 12-24ins (30-60cm) apart. A good defensive hedge as the stems on this rose are incredibly spiny, densely covered in short, gray, needle-like thorns. Needing little maintenance, it makes a great hedge. A wonderful wildlife hedge, the hips last for a couple of months before being eaten by the birds.

RHS bare root hedging is a very low cost way of planting a hedge, but is only available to buy and plant when dormant (November-March). Orders ahead of 1st November will be stored to guarantee an early delivery date.
