Creating Rose Hedges

Roses offer wonderful impact and privacy when planted in hedgerows. Regardless of area size, plant a single favourite variety along a well defined line to create a simple colour block effect. Why not give a small urban garden an edge, frame the perimeter of a grand property or scale a large boundary fence with a rose hedge - a simple and easy-to-maintain way to bring linear style and privacy to your garden as well as added protection (watch for the thorns!) all year round.

Street Style Hedgerows

For smaller spaces and narrow streetside gardens, a rose hedge will provide consistent colour during the summer months. Easy to maintain, a simple line of shrub roses or a horizontally trained rambler will transform even the simplest space into a kerbside floral oasis.

KEW RAMBLER

A rambling hedgerow

Planting and training a rambling rose in a linear fashion will create a spectacular flowering hedgerow. Less formal than a hedge of shrub roses, a rambler draped over a boundary fence will create a floral divide in keeping with its surroundings. A quick way to turn any fence or wall into a favourite part of the view.

Boxed in rose hedges

Rose hedges can be used to frame perimeters of buildings to spectacular effect. More simple to plan and maintain than a mixed bed or border, a dedicated rose hedge can provide protection and privacy without being imposing. For extra grandeur, consider a double hedge by lining your hedgerow with a small box hedge, rather like framing a picture.
