wild rose species for the natural garden

Wild roses and wild rose species are both a habitat and a food source for animals in the natural garden

Wild roses are the roses as they occur in nature. From the rambler to the highly refined hybrid tea rose - all other roses have more or less directly descended from a wild rose. Most wild rose species have single, non-double flowers and form rose hips.

The wild rose as a garden plant: versatile in use and a valuable habitat

The range of uses for a wild rose in the garden is very broad: from natural gardens to mixed rose hedges, there is possibly room for a wild rose in almost every garden.

With a wild rose or a wild rose hedge, natural gardens offer a valuable habitat for birds and insects. During the flowering period they turn into a bee pasture, and in autumn their rose hips are readily taken as food.
