Planting Dogrose (Rosa canina)
  • Native UK wild rose, ideal for wildlife gardens and mixed native hedges
  • Provides nectar-rich pale pink flowers for pollinators like bees and butterflies in early summer
  • Produces vitamin C-rich red hips in autumn, a vital food source for birds (e.g., blackbirds, thrushes)
  • Forms dense, thorny thickets offering shelter and nesting sites for wildlife
  • Creates an impenetrable natural barrier, deterring intruders while adding seasonal ornamental interest
  • Hardy, fast-growing, and tolerant of poor soils, shade, and coastal conditions
Planting Guide
  • Best time: Plant bare-root specimens in the dormant season (November to March/April) for optimal establishment
  • Site: Full sun preferred for best flowering and hips; tolerates partial shade and north-facing spots
  • Soil: Moist but well-drained, moderately fertile and humus-rich; highly adaptable to poor, chalky, or heavy soils
  • Spacing for hedging: 30–45 cm apart in a single row; mix with hawthorn or blackthorn for structure
  • Planting steps: Dig a hole twice the root width, firm soil, water well, and mulch to retain moisture
  • Care: Low-maintenance; minimal pruning (winter if needed to remove old stems); apply balanced fertiliser in late winter for better growth
