    I am looking at using these as a hedge wall for my property in TX. Though I can't find much in the way of info. Has any one used them for this before. Or even planted just one?

    I am planting them about 2.5 feet apart from each other.

    Any info on these plants would be great.

    Thanks in advance.

    Red Robin Hood is a musk rose, grows to 3-5' tall. The width is about 3', so planting them 2.5' apart is too close.
    RRH is a rebloomer, resistant to blackspot and mildew. If you want to prune them, do so early in the season, about Valentine's Day.
    I think they would be as hardy as the Knock-out roses in our area (Texas).
