Cheery hedges produce impressive floral shows from dense foliage.
Displaying a thicket of rich green leaves and hooked thorns during spring and summer, Dog Rose hedges are great deterrents, while also forming a screen against incoming wind and noise.
Summertime brings pale pink to white flowers, which coat the hedges with beauty and fill the air with a floral aroma. By autumn, the flowers evolve into bright red rose hips, containing the seeds of the plant.
Recommended by the RHS as ‘Plants for Pollinators’, a dense habit creates a perfect shelter for wildlife, while the rose hips are delicious to birds.
Hardy natured to grow well even in coastal locations, while withstanding extremely cold wintery conditions and strong winds. These hardy hedges can be planted in most soil types, if kept moist and well-drained.
For best results, plant in a spot of the garden that will receive full sun, although Dog Rose can still thrive in partial shade. These fast-growing plants, with up to 60cm of growth per year, reach a good garden height of around 4m.
Don’t forget to use one of our handy bamboo cane and spiral guard sets when planting a bare root hedge. The cane will keep the bare root upright as it grows, while the spiral guard will protect the base of the plant from wildlife to achieve as thick a hedge as possible.
Supplied as 10 bare root hedges, 60-90cm tall, ready for planting.

Most orders are sent on a fully-tracked courier service with Yodel. To avoid perishable items being stuck at depots and deteriorating, no signature is required, and our courier is asked to leave your order in a safe place on your property.
We'll send a tracking link when we dispatch your order, so you know when its due to arrive. Please note, once delivered we cannot be held responsible for loss or theft from your property.

Smaller, lighter, single-item orders may be sent through the post with Royal Mail - in which case no tracking is available.
Our experienced nursery team will always send your plants nursery fresh in the perfect condition to thrive when you plant them, so although most plants are very tough and will not be affected by all but the most extreme frosts or heatwaves, we avoid dispatching the most perishable plants if extreme weather is forecast, or over Bank Holiday weekends.
Please note, we cannot guarantee delivery on a certain day or time. Delivery to outlying postcode areas may take 1-2 days longer, dependent on your location.
