I purchased the Freedom Hedge Rose at my last home for use as a hedge to my neighbors home. The roses grew fast, and the blooms were absolutely spectacular. I simply fertizlized with a dry fertizlier each spring. It was very easy to maintain and the plants were disease and bug resistant as advertised.
My wife and I have been at our new home for seven years and finally doing a complete landscape renovation. We can't wait until we plant our new Freedom Hedge Roses!
I could never grow flowers until the Freedom hedge Rose!! I bought 12 , 11 yrs ago! They were gorgeous the first year!! They bloom from eary June to Nov. The more you cut the more they bloom!! I cut them back slightly in mid Nov. and further the end of Feb. and each year they grow out bigger! For the first time in my life people comment on my flowers. Sadly we had to move so I am ordering more for our new home!
We planted 12 of these plants a couple weeks ago and within 2 days we saw a lot of new growth beginning to show on every plant. Can't wait to see them in full bloom. We are out in the country in the north east section of Florida between Ormond Beach and Palm Coast. We definitely are going to be continuous customers of Spring Hill. Thank you for quality products.
Great Buy don't think you can beat this deal. Have bought a few of their roses and have had good rose plants with each one. Don't think you can go wrong with these
I ordered 9 Red Freedom Rose in spring 2010. Almost overnight, they took off producing pretty leaves and 6 weeks later covered with multiple buds. I planted these along my property line for the enjoyment of myself and my neighbors. Can't wait to see these roses blooming. I've been a shopper at Spring Hill since 1995 and am never disappointed with the product or customer service.
I purchased 3 of these in 2008. They get leaves in early April and blossom by June. And they continue to be covered with blossoms all summer. Only downside is that I still battle aphids and the bushes aren't as "hedgey" as I want them to be. I'm still working on getting them to bush out more. I would highly recommend these though because they are beautiful.
I've had these roses for about 5 years now. They are AMAZING!!! They grow just like the pictures show them. We also suffer from black spot & have to treat them, then they do fine. We've had roses still on the stems in WINTER!
