We have moved and have numerous small trees as a hedge with dark green jagged leaves, and tomato red singular fruits approximately 3cm diameter. I can’t find what they are and we haven’t seen the flowers. Any ideas please?
Have you got a photo? One of the hedge and a close up of leaves and fruit please. The only thing I can think of with red fruit that big are Rosa rugosa. Very spiny.

Cacoethes: An irresistible urge to do something inadvisable
I don’t know if pic is attached, I’m not very good at this but it’s a new garden, two sides are of this and we have dogs so are worried about them. They partly look look me dog rose (sorry I don’t know the Latin name). Thank you so far
Would anyone have an idea for a boundary hedge that looks good, evergreen, fairly solid looking? I’m re homing the Rosa rugosa as they aren’t really forming a border/boundary/hedge.
I’m a big fan of a holly hedge ... sometimes thought to be slow growing but I’ve always found that once they get going they grow well ... and there’s few hedges as handsome as a well trimmed holly ... and good for wildlife too 😊

Thank you so far
but do leave plenty for the birds ... they can be an important food source in hard winters https://community.rspb.org.uk/wildlife/f/wildlife-questions/6546/rose-hips
