Dog Rose hedging – also known as Wild Rose or Wild Briar – is a lovely flowering hedge that bursts with delicately-scented pink and white flowers in early summer that give way to berry-like red rose hips in autumn, which are very popular with birds. Dog Rose is a hardy, native shrub that is notable for its vigorous and prickly growing habit.

Dog Rose Hedge Plants Description

Although Dog Rose is commonly grown as a beautiful, informal garden shrub, it also makes an excellent hedge to help to protect against intruders as its hooked thorns make it an impenetrable barrier whether it's planted on its own or as part of a mixed native hedge. Due to its density, Dog Rose also makes a wonderful shelter for wildlife, who are quite partial to its vitamin C-rich fruits, which are also edible for humans. It is from these shiny, red rose hips, which adorn the plant in autumn, that the popular 'Rosehip Oil' is derived.

Dog Rose is a very fast-growing shrub, achieving up to 40-60cm growth per year, and grows well in any drained, moist soil. Although it can be grown in partially shaded areas, low-maintenance Rosa canina is happiest in a sunny spot. It is a hardy shrub that can readily withstand strong winds and will also grow happily near the coast making this a good choice of shrub in more exposed coastal locations. Hedges Direct offers a wide range of hardy plants that can thrive in extreme weather conditions.

Rosa canina hedge plants are available all year round as cell grown or pot grown plants, with the bare root hedging plants only available from November to mid/late May, weather dependent.

As one of our UK native species, Dog Rose is also included in our Mixed Native Hedging Packs.

What are root types?

x

Root types explained.

  • Bare root

    Field grown, bare roots are young plants that are only planted when they are dormant, from autumn to spring. We lift bare root plants and despatch them during the season but they can be pre-ordered in summer. As they are cheaper to grow, they are one of our most affordable hedge planting options.

  • Pot grown

    Pot grown plants can be planted year round and make a convenient option. They come in a wide range of sizes, from 10cm to 2.5m so they're suitable for the majority of planting requirements.

  • Root ball

    Also field grown, root ball plants are scooped out of the ground using machinery to keep their root system intact and wrapped in bio-degradable, hessian sacks. They are mature plants that provide dense coverage very early on, ideal for when you need a thick hedge quickly.

  • Instant

    Grown in troughs or bags that measure 50cm-1 metre in length and carefully clipped during the growing season. Our instant hedging troughs create a dramatic, instant hedge effect.
