Hedge Roses

Roses can be grown quite nicely as a hedge.

A charming effect may be obtained by growing the Hybrid Sweet Briars and Japanese Roses (Rosa rugosa) as divisional hedges in the garden. The latter will make a nice compact hedge, look very pretty when in blossom, and especially effective in autumn when the bushes are laden with bright red fruits. Plant the bushes about three feet apart, and do not prune except to cut away dead wood or to shorten any straggling shoot. The Hybrid Sweet Briars will require a rough kind of fence to train the main shoots to for a few years, after which they will take care of themselves. Plant them three feet apart. A plant of the Hybrid Sweet Briar, or of the Japanese rose, planted in an ordinary rough hedge, will have a pretty effect when in bloom.
