Accent your property with bright scarlet or lovely salmon to rosepink
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!

This rose lines my long driveway. It is truly beautiful. It does suffer from lots of blackspot in my area due to the cool wet springs here. We just spray it along with the other roses. It blooms just like the pictures in the catalog or online.
