Its a vigorous, arching species – perfect for growing at the back of a border or training as an informal flowering hedge. Its bluish-grey leaves and ornamental rose hips are excellent in flower arranging.

For best results grow Rosa glauca in fertile, moist but well-drained soil in sun to partial shade.
