The pure beauty of wild roses

Extremely strong and low-maintenance.

Origin

Botanical roses, or "hip roses," are wild roses and roses with a botanical character. Unlike modern roses, they are plants that have not been crossbred and also grow naturally. Wild roses originate from Northern Europe. A well-known wild rose is Rosa pimpinellifolia, better known as the dune rose.

Pure beauty

Depending on the conditions, wild roses grow into substantial shrubs. Most botanical roses produce lovely, single flowers with five petals. They usually bloom once, but profusely and for a long time in spring or summer. And they usually remain beautiful even after a heavy rain. Some people keep wild roses solely for their beautiful rosehips, for their display, or to make delicious jam. Rosa Dagmar Hastrup

Advantages

Wild roses are incredibly hardy. They thrive in almost any soil type and require very little. They thrive in difficult, windy locations where other plants struggle, and they are exceptionally winter-hardy. A significant advantage is that they only need pruning every five to eight years. This can easily be done with a brushcutter. But it's their natural look that we especially love.
