Hi,

A friend is about to move into a house with an open plan front lawn.
She is
not allowed to erect a fence around the lawn border, but can use
lowish
hedging. We would like to use prickly rosa rugosas and a
complimentary plant
to mix in, also with prickles. Any suggestions for the variety of
rugosa and
the complimentary plant would be most welcome.

R. rugosa hybrids are truly beautiful roses. I think your friend
should erect a hedge of them, putting them about a foot from the
border on his/her side, and then just sit down to await developments.
Don't bother about a complementary plant. There won't be room for it.
Hint: My rugosa hybrids are real beauties, but at four years of age,
they have diameters of about 8 ft and heights of about 5 ft.
