Full Product Description
Our range of Rosa rugosa bare root plants
We have bare root Rosa rugosa hedging plants in several sizes. The 1U1, 2 year old 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. The roots are undercut by specialised machine to help develop a fibrous root system.
Ramanus Rose white (Rosa rugosa alba) Summary
White Rosa rugosa plants make a striking scene whether as a somewhat informal hedge or as shrubs in a woodland setting. Their large blousy flowers followed by huge rose hips and autumnal foliage colour offer lots of visual interest and they are very good for wildlife, prickly and forms dense thickets due to the fact that they put up suckers at the base.
Salt tolerant so good at the coast or near roads which are iced in winter.
We also have Rosa rugosa Rubra which is the pink/red flowering variety.
Also known as beach rose, Japanese Rose and letchberry. Rosaceae family.
Soil and Situation
Rosa rugosa alba is suited to any situations in full sun or shade, other than waterlogged soils. It likes dry sandy soils, but will cope with moist soils as well.
Leaves, flowers and fruits
Large rose shaped leaves which are bright mid-green from spring to late summer, and then take on good autumn colour. The flowers are large single open roses and then fruits are orange in colour and the size of a cherry tomato with a flattened shape.
Eventual height and growth rate
The height of mature Rosa rugosa is about 2m, and they form a very dense thicket at that height.
This species should not be planted in the wild, in accordance with the Wildlife & Countryside Act 1981 Section 12, Schedule 9 Part 2.

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.
