Yes they do Susan....This does spread quite a bit & it has some nasty
thorns as well, but are a spectacular Shrub for Wildlife if you have the
space...and such a lovely sight to behold in Late Summer, right through to
Autumn...

This, is the name of it Cristina `Wild Rose Rosa `rugosa or you can choose
Rosa Glauca syn. Rosa Rubrifolia H 6ft Spread 5 ft & Euonymus Europaeus (Spindle Tree) H 10ft Spread 8ft
These are all Shrubs especially for attracting all birds....: ~ ))
There is also Cotoneaster Lacteus which is H..12ft Spread 12ft..

Hope this helps Cristina? I do not have Height & Spread of Rosa `rugosa it does climb over everything, quite rampant, you need to have lots of space?
