Rosa canina (Dog Rose) - Bareroot

Available to pre order - in stock from late October

Rosa canina, commonly known as the Dog Rose, is a graceful, deciduous climbing shrub native to Europe, Asia, and North Africa. It is well-loved for its delicate, single, pale pink to white flowers that bloom in early summer, exuding a subtle fragrance that attracts pollinators such as bees and butterflies. In autumn, the plant produces vibrant red rose hips, which are not only decorative but also rich in vitamin C, making them a traditional ingredient for syrups and teas. A hardy and adaptable species, Rosa canina thrives in a variety of conditions, from hedgerows to woodland edges, and can tolerate poor soils. Its arching, thorny stems make it suitable for wildlife-friendly gardens, providing shelter and food for birds and small mammals, while adding natural charm to the landscape.
