Roses: Page 2

Sweetly scented cream flowers edged cherry red held single or in small clusters. All the roses we sell are field-grown and lifted when conditions are at their optimum to ensure strong, quality plants and are potted-up as soon as they are received into the nursery. This ensures that the roots do not dry out and gives the plant the best start. Therefore, do not be surprised if the soil falls away from the root when planting, particularly during the winter and early spring months. We use a high quality commercial compost mix when potting our roses and recommend you incorporate this into the planting hole when planting out in the garden.

Impressive clusters of mauve to purple blended flowers with a pleasant, mild scent. A reliable repeat flowering rambler.

A shorter growing rose that is particularly popular for smaller gardens. The crimson buds roll back their tips to display very globular, pale pink flowers with darker backs which develop into a more open, flatter shape with large guard petals around the outside. A neat and compact variety that is almost thornless.

The flowers of 'Wedding Day' open from pale apricot buds and are creamy-yellow before fading to pure white, carried in an enormous profusion of clusters of 20-40, picking up crimson markings as they fade. The flowers are then succeeded by little scarlet hips. Strong, fruity fragrance. Height to 8m.

A low-growing, spreading rose with dark green leabes, producing masses of slightly fragrant, single to semi-double, buttery yellow flowers in summer and autumn.

By far the best known and most widely grown of thornless roses. Bright cherry pink flowers, loosely double with white streaks running into the coloured parts from the white centre. One of the first and last roses to bloom and it does so continuously. Very strong, sweet fragrance.

A sport of officinalis probably from Norwich, which appeared in the mid-16th century. It has white stripes irregularly splashed across the petals. A popular variety and very widely grown. Occasionally a few flowers or the odd branch may revert back to the original officinalis. These are best removed to prevent the entire plant from reverting.
