You'll see our recommended planting densities for each size and root type listed next to the products below. We suggest that you use these as a guide, taking into consideration how long you're willing to wait to see your finished hedge. As a rough indication bare roots can be planted at anything from 3 to 7 per metre and cell grown between 4 and 6 - the higher densities here would need to be planted in a double staggered row or zig-zag.
For more information on planting distances please see our planting density advice section. Prices shown are the price per plant unless otherwise stated.

Dog Rose is relatively low-maintenance but benefits from annual pruning to manage its growth and improve its health. The best time to do this is between late Summer for routine pruning and late Autumn or Winter for renovation.
Pruning Rosa canina involves removing any dead or overgrown branches to encourage new growth and flowers. Since Dog Rose can become quite dense, thinning out the centre of the hedge lets light and air penetrate, reducing the risk of disease and encouraging a more impressive display of flowers and hips.
As a wild rose species, regular pruning also helps maintain the hedge’s shape and prevents it from becoming too unruly.

Dog Rose hedging – also known as Wild Rose or Wild Briar – is a lovely flowering hedge that bursts with delicately-scented pink and white flowers in early summer that give way to berry-like red rose hips in autumn, which are very popular with birds. Dog Rose is a hardy, native shrub that is notable for its vigorous and prickly growing habit.

What are root types?Root types explained.
-
Bare root
Field grown, bare roots are young plants that are only planted when they are dormant, from autumn to spring. We lift bare root plants and despatch them during the season but they can be pre-ordered in summer. As they are cheaper to grow, they are one of our most affordable hedge planting options.
-
Pot grown
Pot grown plants can be planted year round and make a convenient option. They come in a wide range of sizes, from 10cm to 2.5m so they're suitable for the majority of planting requirements.
-
Root ball
Also field grown, root ball plants are scooped out of the ground using machinery to keep their root system intact and wrapped in bio-degradable, hessian sacks. They are mature plants that provide dense coverage very early on, ideal for when you need a thick hedge quickly.
-
Instant
Grown in troughs or bags that measure 50cm-1 metre in length and carefully clipped during the growing season. Our instant hedging troughs create a dramatic, instant hedge effect.
