A Shropshire Lad Climbing
|
|
A versatile rose, closely related to Leander from which it inherits its vigorous, healthy and almost thornless growth. It is an excellent climber, well suited to growing on a small arch, rose pillar or a wall. Extremely tough, reliable and healthy.
The flowers are a soft peachy-pink and have a slightly cupped rosette formation. There is a deliciously fruity fragrance in the tea rose tradition.
Up to 8 ft. |

Alba Maxima
|
|
The 'Jacobite Rose'. The rose most frequently found in old gardens, being a great survivor, even under difficult conditions. Full and slightly informal double flowers; blush-tinted at first, later creamy-white. Very fragrant. Once flowering, but a lovely, garden-worthy variety. |
|
Alexine

This variety has strong stems with good even truss clusters that are highly prized in spray rose varieties with its firm buds of a light champagne cream colour and large leaves that have an attractive “feathery” serration along their margin. |
|
Amuse
|
|
This variety has very tall buds of a noval greenish cream colour with just a hint of smudged pink on the margin that as it slowly opens reveals a soft pink heart. |
|
Antique

A medium sized firm tear drop shaped bud with each petal of this two toned variety having a musk -lilac outer side and a beige - lilac inner petal, giving this rose a unique
and earthy appearance. This variety has become a wedding favourite. |

Babe

This spray has a good cluster of star shaped blooms of a mid orange and long thornless stems. |

A fascinating variety; white flowers, heavily striped and splashed with crimson. The stripes fade at first to magenta and then to lilac-grey. Beautiful in all its stages. Neat formation. |

The colour of this rose varies between lilac and lilac-pink, according to the weather conditions. The flowers are a neat, cupped shape and are produced freely and continuously on a tough, thorny bushy plant with an Old Rose fragrance. A useful colour for mixing with roses of other shades, both in flower arrangements and in the border.
Named for the Scottish architect, artist and designer.
May benefit from summer pruning in warmer areas.
4.5 ft. x 3 ft. |

Chianti
|
|
This excellent Shrub Rose has much in common with Constance Spry; in fact some people prefer it for its more tidy habit of growth. The flowers are large and cupped at first, opening to form a Gallica-like rosette of deep crimson, which turns with age to a beautiful purplish-maroon. These are freely produced on a shapely shrub.
It has a strong Old Rose fragrance, typical of a dark Gallica rose. Deserves to be more widely grown.
Once flowering only.

Claire Austin Climbing
|
|
There is something a little special about white roses – they are all purity and light – and yet really good white roses are rare among English Roses and Hybrid Tea Roses alike. This is because white roses are very difficult to breed. ‘Claire Austin’ bears pleasingly cupped buds of a pale lemon shade which gradually open to form large, creamy-white flowers of typical English Musk delicacy; their petals perfectly arranged in concentric circles, with a few more loosely arranged in the centre. They have a strong fragrance based on myrrh with dashes of meadowsweet, vanilla and heliotrope. It forms an elegant, arching shrub with plentiful, medium green foliage. Strong and particularly healthy. Undoubtedly our finest white rose to date.
Claire Austin is David Austin’s daughter. She has a nursery in the UK which specialises in hardy plants, including the country’s finest collection of irises, peonies and day lilies.

One of the most superb of all climbing roses. A beautiful rose with magnificent, clear pink blooms of true Old Rose form. The flowers are exceptionally large, with a luminous delicacy that is hard to compare with any other rose.

This variety is an intriguing mutation of Hypnose. Dark Hypnose appears in sharp contrast with its rich shade of burgundy combined with a dark shade of rose creating a fascinating combination when used together in floral design with Hypnose. |
