Ramanus Rose (Rosa rugosa)

This deciduous shrub can reach a height of 2 metres. Its profusion of rose blooms and, later, rosehips make it an eye-catching hedge. This hedge is a great option for residences near roads as they not only act as a great barrier but have a high tolerance for salt allowing them to protect your garden from gritters and other vehicle residue. They are also extremely hardy as they can withstand in temperatures as low as -40°C.

Underneath, the leaves are downy and lush, glossy, dark green, and crinkly. The plant grows extremely densely, producing new growth that is true to its parent but emerges from below ground. Rosa Rugosa is a fast-growing hedging plant that forms a dense barrier, making it a perfect choice for informal hedging and only needs to be pruned once a year.
