Best roses for hedges – 10 stunning varieties for color, scent, privacy, and security

Rose hedge with pink blooms.

What I love about garden design is the ability we have to combine a practical aim with sheer beauty. A rose hedge is a perfect example of this. The best roses for hedging combine the prospect of privacy or a border with glorious, scented flowers, glossy leaves, and jewel-toned hips in the fall and winter.

As an added bonus, many varieties have wicked thorns meaning they make an excellent protective boundary for your backyard, while dwarf varieties can be used internally to divide your yard into different zones or outdoor rooms.
