Importance of Roses in Survival Garden Perimeter Design

Survival garden design should include appropriate roses as part of fencing structure.

Roses are choice perimeter plants for #survival gardens offering beauty, protection, pollinator nectar, tea & medicine.  Importantly, wild roses are some of the hardiest and easiest to grow.  Here in Florida I see wild roses growing along the road right of way in many locations, especially in areas with damp soils.  Roses can grow into an impenetrable barrier.  Not only will roses keep trespassers at bay but they attract pollinators.  Some roses, like Rosa rugosa make excellent tea and their hips are full of vitamin C. Good survival garden design, be it a balcony container planting or urban core plot, always includes appropriate roses as part of perimeter structure.  #prepper #homestead #permaculture #design #garden #roses #urbancore #shtf
