ALFRED SISLEY
Enjoy the magnificent colour swirls of burnt tangerine with splashes of creamy white of this hardy and disease-resistant rose. It has excellent repeat flowering and is so prolific the foliage is often hidden by flowers. Height 120cm.
AS GOOD AS IT GETS
Ranging from shades of rich plum to merlot red, the colours of this bush will amaze. The high centre flowers grow in large clusters and bloom freely throughout the growing season. Low and compact, this plant is ideal for borders and beds.
ROALD DAHL
Named to mark the centenary of Roald Dahl’s birth, this bushy shrub features soft orange-red buds that open to medium-sized, perfectly cupped and robust rosettes of apricot with a fruity tea scent. It grows to 90cm.
THE GOLDEN CHILD
Compared to any other yellow rose, this variety has brighter and longerlasting canary yellow roses with bigger, more fragrant clusters of flowers. Bonus: glossy foliage, handsome new growth and improved disease resistance.
FEARLESS
This rose bush handles all the heat you can give it! Its leathery foliage withstands our fiery summer temps and acts as the perfect foil for its large, brilliant and intense orange blooms. It’s a multi-award winner – and no wonder!
COMETA
An exceptional groundcover, creating a carpet of pure white clusters of flowers reminiscent of a comet’s (‘cometa’ in Italian) tail. Its small blooms repeat flower throughout spring, summer and autumn, and look great as cut flowers in a vase.
SOUL SISTER
Milky chocolate buds open a latte coffee hue and finish hinting at a lavender blend. A handsome plant, round, bushy and full of clean green leaves. Soul Sister is a compact floribunda with flowers 120mm wide and with 30-35 petals.
THE ANCIENT MARINER
An impressive variety bearing masses of large, many petalled blooms on a bushy, quite upright shrub. The blooms glow mid-pink at the centre, paling towards the edges. Over time, they reveal a cluster of golden stamens. Grows to 125cm.
EBB TIDE
This highly popular rose features a dusky, deep purple bloom with a wisp of smoke on dark green foliage. The double old-fashioned floribunda bush is highly diseaseresistant, has a strong scent of cloves and grows up to 110cm.
SHIRLEY’S ROSE
A large, fragrant, fullbodied bloom of 40 petals. When open, it retains the intense peach/apricot colour in the bud, which is framed by outer bone petals. Its long stems means it’s excellent as a cut flower. It also has good disease resistance.
