ROSE OF THE WEEK

ENGLAND’S ROSE

English Shrub rose
2010 4ft

A new English rose which is a particularly tough and reliable variety of medium size, with flowers of deep glowing pink. They are shallowly cupped at first; the outer petals eventually reflexing back and revealing an attractive button eye.

‘England’s Rose’ flowers more or less continually from June right through until the end of the season, in October or even November.

The blooms are nicely held in large clusters. This is a healthy weather resistant rose, even in periods of continual rain the blooms do not ball and the petals drop cleanly.

It will form an attractive, bushy shrub of about 4ft in height and 3ft across, although it could easily grow taller if pruned lightly.

An ideal variety for planting in a rose border or for mixing with perennials.

The fragrance is particularly fine; strong warm and spicy with a classic Old Rose character.

Essential reading for all English Rose enthusiasts.

Rose Of The Week

PENNY LANE
Climbing Rose
1998 14-15ft

Rose Of The Year 1998
This is the first climber to be voted Rose Of The Year in the UK. It is a significant addition to the range of repeat blooming climbers, because of the old fashioned nature of the flowers. They are filled with ruffled, informal petals which become larger and more beautiful as they expand. The colour is pearly blush with light apricot in the depths of the fragrant flower. ‘Penny Lane’ blooms continuously through summer and autumn on long slender shoots, usually singly, and sometimes in small clusters. The plant has flexible stems and grows vigorously to average height or more, making it ideal for pillars, pergolas, arches, wall and fences. The plentiful foliage is healthy, dark green and shiny with excellent disease resistance. Fragrant. Highly Recommended.

Rose Of The Week

THE ENGLISH LADY

Floribunda 2009 3ft

Now it has been included in the Gold Standard range this beautiful rose should gain in popularity and get the recognition it deserves.

Stunning blooms of changing pastel shades as the bloom matures. In the early stages the bloom is a lovely peachy shade which develops into an apricot blush, and eventually pales to a soft cream shade.

As the petals open they reveal superb stamens of gold, maroon or chocolate. It really is an impressive display of colour.

A good repeat flowering habit throughout the summer, and excellent health and disease resistance.

Scented.

Highly recommended

Named after Susan Daniel the opera singer, and the rose helps raise funds for the ‘Help For Heroes’ charity.’

Rose Of The Week

SPECIAL CHILD

Floribunda

1997 2ft-2ft 6ins

A superb low growing floribunda with masses of well shaped blooms of blush pink. Lovely shiny foliage and a good long flowering period. One of our favourite roses as it always seems to be in bloom and has excellent health. The quantity of flowers is quite outstanding. When this comes into bloom at the nursery it causes plenty of interest and we sell out quite quickly.

A lovely gift for that “Special Child”. Scented. Named for CLIC. Children with cancer and leukaemia.

Also known as ‘Glacier Magic’
