Hot Tamale Rose




Small rose types are perfect for edging island beds, borders, and hard-scape elements, such as paths, patios, driveways, and steps.

When these roses are planted close enough to visually connect, edging type roses work very well at the front of a sunny flower bed or border, where they add a garland of color. Small rose types also effectively cover the bare canes of Hybrid Tea roses and other leggy shrubs.

Roses used for edging should be sturdy and compact. Miniature and Mini-flora roses in particular meet these requirements, and many flower all season.

The best edging roses stand between 9-18 inches tall. Look for compact size and color compatible with neighboring plants.

Great Roses for Hedges

Cherry Meidiland Rose




Most rose hedges tend to be informal. These roses have a spreading nature, and are not suited for small spaces or flowerbeds.

As a result they work best in large country, cottage or larger suburban gardens, where formal gardens would be inappropriate.

They are excellent types of roses when you want to create privacy screens or barriers, block ugly views, or divide the garden into rooms, all with a lot more color and interest than a formal hedge.

Names of Rose Types for Hedges:

Betty Boop, Cherry Meidiland, Iceberg, Red Simplicity, Sevillana, Simplicity, Sunsprite, White Simplicity.

I hope these examples of types of roses will give you ideas and help you with your planting situations in your garden.
