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 the edges of sand dunes from people and animals; if you use it in your garden, we recommend Roseraie de l'Hay for its superior ornamental value.
To give a rose hedge a better upright structure, interplant it with Hawthorn.
