Rose Hedge Suggestions

Hi,

I'd like some suggestions for growing a rose hedge. I've a border between me and my neighbour, which is mine. it's about 4m long and will end up being about 25cm wide after the new steps are put in along the border.

So, I'm after a pink, red or yellow rose, which is compact, upright growth and be kept trimmed so it doesn't grow wide. I don't the really open petal type rose. I'm thinking about planting them about 30cm apart if that makes sense.

Any suggestions would be a great help

 

25cm is very narrow for a rose hedge especially as it is a boundary. If I were making a rose hedge it would be with ramblers or wild roses but they sound too big for your requirements. Can't you give it a bit more depth?

 

Thanks @Redwing and @wiseowl

I meant to type, I don't like open petal roses.

I've found this which is a upright growth rose, http://www.davidaustinroses.co.uk/queen-of-sweden-hedging-collection-10-roses

Would something like this be suitable for what I want, but can you point me in direction for something cheaper please?

I've another idea. Azaleas, they are evergreen, can be compact, flower from February to June (depending on type), slow growing. Would this be a better option and if so, what do I have to look for?
