I have just planted 5 in my back border! we have a beautiful song thrush that comes to the garden from a self made nature reserve in their massive garden and land, she comes in the winter and late summer from what I can see, he song is incredible almost digital sounding. hopefully she will use the Dog Rose.

I've just bought a house in Melbourne Australia with lots of this plant in the backyard. It currently has lots of red berries.

I never listen about this dog Rose's plants and it's really fantastic.🙂

[gisellefrias]

I've spent years looking for these rose specifically, I finally been able to get some seeds can't wait to plant them

[petermoore]

I enjoyed the video and happily planted six bare rooted ones. All because of your video. Thanks

Ive planted over 700 native trees in my garden and the field opposite my house. The field already had mature hedges in it and theres a woodblock of mature native trees.
We have an abundance of endangered wildlife and its made me love nature. Ive recently dug out all of the turf from my back garden and used all of the topsoil to the top of a retaining wall. Ive been looking at hedging plants to plant up there to benefit the wildlife and also prevent a common path for neighbourhood cats.
I want extremely thorny plants to deter the cats. I am going to plant this alongside hawthorn, holly, gorse and blackthorn. What else would people recommend to plant in this hedge?
Its quite inaccessible, and i will not be able to prune it.

Great recommendation! Leaf cutter bees love to take chunks out of the dog rose in my garden 🤩🌿✂️🐝

[ardas]

Thanks for reminder. I need to order few of those.

They are Lovely. Such a sweet perfume, literally humming with Bees & popping with all manner of song birds. Then Loaded with berries adding a bountiful charm to the warm golden leaves in Autumn, & then if we are lucky, sudden dashes of red berry brilliance, dripping in glistening icicles, against the soft whiteness of snowfall.
When the birds are done with them there is usually some left over for me to dry & powder. Very Rich in the most digestible vitamin C.
& a few dried buds adds just the right zing to a nice cup of tea when you are feeling ever so slightly adventurous..
All around, they are a Win Win for Everyone.
Funny story, kind of...we once had chickens, before so many neighbors moved too close..and of course, a chicken coop, which eventually fell into disuse.and these roses..literally grew until they took it over. Completely engulfing it.
We did not have to worry about taking it down & what to do with the decaying wood...the roses..ate it.

MAN thanks for your review, subscribed and buying 4 of them :)

Hmmm, we have a pretty prolific kiwi plant, this might be another good companion and grower to hide some fence panels 🤔

[jansoltes]

For those who can't afford a large shrub in the garden, but want a rose that offers pollen and nectar to insects, these days there are many bee-friendly and/or ground-covering varieties that not only stay short and compact, but also flower profusely and are resistant to common rose diseases such as black spot and powdery mildew (most are suitable for pots). Check out, for example, the rose breeders Tantau or Kordes (e.g. Bees Paradise Rose series or Stadt Rom variety). However, my favourite for insects is a fairly bushy variety (but still less than half the size of the dog rose) named Dawn Crest - while not as resistant as the newer varieties, it has a mass of open flowers with an intense sweet clove scent that are literally a bee paradise.

They’re great self seeders to. When do you cut back early spring? Mine is rocking the fence in high winds as it’s a monster now, but covered in berries.

[ratgreen]

I think I've found either a tiny dog rose or field rose growing down the side of my house that I've left to go wild for the past 2 years. I've just repotted it as it was in the way but, I just need to give it a proper location. I've no idea how it got there. Free plants yay.

[raymondkilminster]

Interesting video, do you know if Dog rose will take from cuttings, which might be a good way to get plants for garden .

[alexdep]

Joel, please let us know when and how to cut this particular rose.
I am a bit concerned as I have done that already in November and now I am worried if I have done that properly. Thank you

[CalderTrains]

Could I grow this in a pot? I try to grow as many interesting wildflowers as I can here up in Yorkshire e.g I've got Globeflower doing great in a pot because that is a northern plant. Dog Rose grows commonly found the hedges here so if you could answer my question thanks in advance

[LisaSmith-un]

I'm late to this video so if you get this message Joel, do you have any tips on how to prune my beautiful but sprawling dog rose?

[CyberCatPhoto]

Hi Joel, I have a big dog rose in my garden, but it is a very old one and it is not bushy. Can I do anything with it to make it bushier so that it provides cover for the birds or should I replace it with a new younger plant?

[nunyabiznes]

Would these grow in tropical areas? We don't really have any fragrant roses here. We some roses in pots at home, don't know the cultivar but the flowers are really tiny.
