These"Red Freedom" hedge roses are truly my pride and joy. Just the fact that they are zone 4 makes me proud to see them reappear this year with such beauty. I did take steps to protect them during our winter months. I am not sure that they will ever make a true hedge for me because of our short growing season but none-the-less I enjoy blooms from 3rd week of July until first frost. Brilliant, fragrant and virtually maintenance free. Last year I cut all the blooms off just before first frost and gave one to each of the women I work with...because I felt it was such a waste to see them die without a purpose.
