About Guelder Rose Hedging Bare Root 60-100 cm Delivery from November

Guelder Rose (Viburnum opulus) is a stunning native deciduous shrub prized for its beautiful seasonal display, excellent wildlife value, and versatility in natural or mixed hedging. Its vibrant spring blossom, decorative berries, and brilliant autumn colour make it a standout feature in any garden or landscape.

In late spring to early summer, Guelder Rose produces flat clusters of showy white flowers that attract pollinators. These are followed by bright red berries in autumn — a valuable food source for birds — while the foliage transforms into vivid shades of red and purple. Hardy, fast-growing, and easy to maintain, it thrives in most soils and conditions.

Supplied as bare root plants for November delivery, Guelder Rose is an excellent choice for adding colour, structure, and biodiversity to hedges and natural planting schemes.
