Hedge Rose vs Neon Flash Spiraea
Rosa rugosa x Rosa woodsii (Improved hybrid developed by PFRA)
Spiraea japonica Neon Flash
SOLD OUT
NOT AVAILABLE THIS SEASON
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.
Neon Flash Spiraea is a colorful, low maintenance, and multi-purpose shrub.
Late spring to fall you'll be drawn to its vibrant neon red blooms that rest on a neat mound of green foliage. If deer and rabbit are an issue on your property, consider planting Neon Flash Spiraea for its deer/rabbit resistance. Its tolerance of a variety of well-drained soils makes it an ideal foundation, landscaping, or border plant.
