Informal rose hedge???

Sure. You can do that.

thanks, any suggestions on varieties that grow the largest in a hot Texas climate (7)? Not into Knockouts, and already have a section of HT's, so I was thinking along the lines of Blush Noisette and Buff Beauty to allow to grow wild. Thanks for any suggestions!

For Texas? Tea Roses! They do very well in there.

Check the Antique Rose Emporium, and maybe Chamblees, for suggestions, but if you want BIG, 'Mrs. B.R. Cant' is a good TX rose, and I think she can go 8 ft. wide there, if not cut back. Another big one is 'Le Pactole,' and all of the Cochets ('Maman Cochet,' 'Niles Cochet,' and 'White Maman Cochet') can make big plants.

They'll be generous bloomers, and once-established they'll demand less water than most Hybrid Musks.

I recently created a hedge but alternated roses with other plants.
Have you thought ahead as to what your plan will be when they are larger and one might get RRD?

sorry, double post
