Rosa canina (Dog Rose) - 2 Litre Potted - HEG19

Rosa canina, commonly known as dog rose, is a vigorous native climbing shrub with arching, thorny stems and soft green pinnate foliage. In early summer it produces single pale pink flowers with golden stamens, followed by bright red oval hips that persist into autumn and winter.

It thrives in full sun to partial shade and adapts well to hedgerows, woodland edges, and informal pond margins where soil is moist but well drained. The open flowers attract pollinating insects, while the hips provide an important food source for birds and small mammals, making it highly valuable for wildlife planting schemes.
