About Rosa Canina Hedging Bare Root 40-60 cm Delivery from November

Rosa canina Hedging – Native, Wildlife-Rich, and Naturally Beautiful

Rosa canina, commonly known as the dog rose, is a beautiful and resilient native hedging plant that brings natural charm, seasonal colour, and exceptional wildlife value to any garden or landscape. Its graceful, arching stems form a loose, informal hedge adorned with soft pink, lightly scented flowers in early summer, followed by vibrant red hips in autumn and winter.

Perfect for wildlife gardens, naturalistic planting schemes, and countryside boundaries, Rosa canina supports pollinators with its nectar-rich blooms and provides valuable winter food for birds. Its thorny growth also offers excellent nesting habitat and security. Hardy, low-maintenance, and tolerant of poor soils, it thrives even in exposed or challenging sites.
