Hedge Rose is a long-lived, fast-growing shrub. It bears similar flowers to the Alberta Wild Rose. Birds will love its deep red rose hips. Hedge Rose will thrive in a wide variety of soils and is a tall rose forming a useful hedge.

Excellent for shelterbelts, ecobuffers, and wildlife habitat plantings. Continuous flowering makes it attractive to pollinators. Many song and game birds utilize this tree for food and habitat.

In use since the early 1900s, this hybrid was originally developed at the PFRA's Indian Head Agroforestry Center.

White Rugosa Rose has many characteristics that will make it both a reliable and beautiful addition to your yard. Tolerant of many conditions and incredibly cold hardy, this rose can withstand salt, poor soil, and wind.

White Rugosa Rose produces white flowers that are attractive and pure white with a papery texture. It will make a great impenetrable hedge or border that is also deer resistant.

Note: This variety is from a seed source, not cuttings. Although somewhat true to seed and color expect some variability.
