Product Description

Sweet Briar, Eglantine Rose. A native rose that produces pretty, scented, bright pink flowers in midsummer followed by orange-red hips in autumn. The foliage has an attractive fruity, apple-like fragrance. These roses will grow on most soils (but avoid very wet conditions) and will reach an eventual height of up to 8ft. Hedging roses are good for creating a thorny, dense barrier that has the benefit of bearing very pretty flowers and hips.
