The Old Roses in Rose hedges and fences

Rose hedges and fences combine the fine and romantic beauty of roses with the impenetrable austerity of their thorns.

You can create such a fence with old roses by planting them densely on a row at the edge of your garden. These fences could be more or les higher or narrow by using the suitable old rose variety.

This kind of fences and hedges, narrow or large, on 1 or 2 rows, with 1 or more varieties can hide everyone from the indiscrete looks.

In the case of large fences you can combine 2 different varieties of different heights to obtain a beautiful relief; a suitable pruning is sometimes effective.

In general pruning is not necessary with old roses.

Beautiful fences and hedges can be created also by using varieties from the categories of English Roses, short Climbers or some tall cover - ground varieties such as the Border ® group.
