Full Product Description
Our range of Rosa rugosa bare root plants (Ramanas rose)
We have bare root Rosa rugosa hedging plants in several sizes. The 1U1 specification plants are seedlings (often called whips) which were grown from seed in the spring and instead of being sold in the following November to April period they are kept in situ in the field and grown on for a further year or longer which makes a strong bushy plant. Their roots are undercut by a specialised machine to help develp a fibrous root system.
We have the white flowering variety which is called Rosa rugosa Alba.
Ramanus Rose (Rosa rugosa Rubra) Summary
The Rosa rugosa is a very striking woodland shrub or hedging plant. Normally “rubra” in the name would mean “red” but actually the flowers are a strong dark pink colour. It is easily identified by its huge orange rose hips, the size of a small tomato. It is very prickly, and it grows suckers from the root so it gradually forms a thicket of prickly growth which is fantastic for wildlife protection. One of its common names is beach rose and it is indeed good at the coast but also due to its salt resistance, it is good in those highway schemes which are de-iced.
Rosa rugosa is a relatively recent introduction from Japan, and is a useful tough amenity hedging plant.
Soil and Situation
A very robust plant suitable for sun or shade (damp shade or dry shade), even wet positions, and any normal soil. Whilst it will be fine in most conditions, the ideal conditions are moist, well drained soil in full sun.
Leaves, flowers and fruits
The leaves of Rosa rugosa are typical rose leaves - large (up to 15cm), pinnate with up to 9 leaflets (but usually 7) each leaflet about 3 – 4cm long, hairy on the underside. They are green in spring and summer and turn yellow in autumn, holding well on the plant and looking very autumnal with the yellow foliage and orange red rose hips. The open 5 petalled flowers are showy both in colour and size, and are lightly scented. The fruits are very large and occasionally you will see flowers and fruits on the plant at the same time.
Eventual height and growth rate
Rosa rugosa will grow to about 2m and forms a very thick hedge or shrub. Growth rate is average at 30-45cm pa.
Also known as beach rose, Japanese Rose and letchberry. Rosaceae family.
This species should not be planted in the wild, in accordance with the Wildlife & Countryside Act 1981 Section 12, Schedule 9 Part 2.

Collections from Ross-on-Wye
You can collect your plants by arrangement with our office team. Please ring us on 01989 552028 to agree a collection date. The postcode for collections is HR9 7TF.
As a trade nursery, we normally despatch stock unbagged (packed horizontally on pallets) but we can offer two bagging options.
Bagging Options
We have two options for despatching plants in bags (you do not need to have them bagged but it is advisable if there is any delay in planting and where you have large quantities, delay in planting some is inevitable).
- Very heavy duty black bags - normally used by farmers, landowners, landscapers etc
- Co-extruded bags which are white on the outside, to reflect sunlight, and black inside, to retain moisture on the roots - normally used by foresters.
In both cases, there is a considerable labour cost to us in putting stock into bags, and then the air in the bags takes up a considerable amount of space on the pallet which means that we get many fewer plants onto a pallet compared with unbagged stock eg for 1+0 seedlings instead of approx. 10,000 plants per pallet of unbagged stock, we'd only get approx. 5,000 plants per pallet if they are bagged. There's also a significant labour cost in putting plants into bags compared with loose packing on a pallet (which is the normal method for nursery to nursery sales). Given that we pay the delivery cost on most orders, supplying stock in bags is a significant extra cost for us for some customers and hence we make a modest charge.
You can specifically request black or white bags on the website after you add plants to your shopping basket. Here is a link to the page Bagging Service for bare root plants for farms and forestry – rjtreesandhedging. Please order the same quantity as the number of plants you are buying - the pricing for bagging is per plant rather than per bag.
