    Hi
    Looking to get info on what kind of rose this is & how best to keep it under control/pruning tips etc. There are 2 different roses growing together here but it's just the white flower one at present i'm curious about.

    Thanks

      Hi @Delta its Rosa Rugosa "Alba"

      Excellent dense fast growing deciduous hedge with masses of small bristly thorns. Heavily scented large white flowers June to September followed by large orange-red hips early autumn which are good for rose-hip syrup or make excellent bird food in winter. These plants are grown from seed and a slight variation in flower colour may occur.

      HEDGE Trim in winter as necessary. For hedges 4-7ft (1.2m-2.1m). Plant 12-24ins (30-60cm) apart.
      SHRUB 7ft x 4ft (2.1m x 1.2m).
