    Hi All,

    In a border in front of my house, I'm hoping to plant several roses to give the effect of a continuous shrub like in the photo below of hydrangeas. [​IMG]
    Would anyone have any advice on how to work out the spacing for the roses to create this effect?

    I'm hoping to go with the David Austin Emily Bronte rose and it has a spread of 110cm :)

    Thanks!

    Good morning @deirdre Kehoe my friend my apologies for missing your post:smile:

    I would plant at least 5-10 roses of the same variety, in a single line, to create the effect of one continuous hedge. Plant the roses closer together than normal to form a continuous, dense line, overlapping them by half of their mature width.

    So your beautiful Roses being 110cm/3ft 6ins should be 45cm/1.5ft apart

    If you have anymore question please don't hesitate to ask:smile:
