Not what I planned but practicalities have meant that the only possible planting edges I can get to (for now)are along an east facing bank or facing open fields to the north. Obviously, I want to plant more than berberis and pyracanthas. What roses have you come across which can manage an early morning sun situation or the perpetual cool shade from a north facing bank. Water is not really an issue and both aspects are, at least, open so the eastern side looks over a water meadow while the northerly aspect overlooks sugarbeet fields. I am looking for tough, wildlings which can withstand the rapid thaw of the eastern rising sun as well as roses to keep the planned raspberries and blackcurrants company to the north of the woods.

Albas, of course.

And, maybe some of your Ayreshire ramblers?

Also, setigira hybrids. The Geschwind ramblers are enjoying something of a vogue here in North America. I don't know if you can get them in England, but the nurseries on the continent should have them.
