Accent your property with bright scarlet blooms and lush green foliage. Spring Hill’s Freedom Hedge
Roses are the most maintenance-free, trouble-free roses ever developed!
They have been specifically hybridized to resist diseases and
insects and to present a profusion of exquisite flowers. Brilliant, fragrant,
long-lasting 3 1/2" double blooms appear by the hundreds
all summer long and into the fall.
Each hedge rose grows 4-6' tall and 3' wide, so they’re perfect for
creating a privacy wall, screening unsightly utilities or controlling
foot traffic. Place plants 3' apart for maximum density as a hedge.

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'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!

I have been enjoying these roses since I planted them in 2001. Cars slow down to admire their vibrant red color. As a bonus, they last a long time in a vase and have a beautiful fragrance. They are strong enough to tolerate the cold western N.Y. winters.
