ROSES 2016-17
This year I decided to add more roses to our garden
SUSAN DANIEL
Rosa 'Susan Daniel' is a floribunda rose bearing magnificent double flowers with a gentle fragrance, over a long season. Each bloom opens a pretty peach pink and develops subtle apricot tones as it matures, eventually turning pale cream before the petals fall. The petals reflex to reveal stamens in gold, maroon or chocolate.
Rosa 'Susan Daniel' looks fantastic when grown in a mixed herbaceous or shrub border, and makes an excellent cut flower. It shows excellent resistance to disease. For best results grow in moist but well-drained soil in full sun to partial shade.
BIRTHDAY GIRL ROSE
3ft floribunda 1989
This Birthday Girl rose is an award winning stunner. With several gold medals to its name it really is something special. Semi-double blooms of cream, yellow and pink shades. An extremely attractive rose when in full bloom and a real eye catcher. Masses of blooms all summer long with a pleasant perfume. Can be grown in a large pot or directly in the garden. Grows as wide as it does tall and is the ideal gift for that special birthday girl.
TWIGGY'S ROSE
New in 2010. Twiggy's Rose is a magnificently bushy plant, full and generous in its style of growth. Flowering is in elegant clusters, beginning in early June and repeat-blooming; it will normally continue right up to the start of winter. Scent 4. Colour - pink/apricot. Height 120cm. Shrub variety. (Harkness)
PINK ICEBERG
2006
'Brilliant Pink Iceberg' _ 'Brilliant Pink Iceberg' is a bushy, upright, dense, deciduous shrub with thorny stems bearing pinnate leaves divided into glossy, toothed, dark green leaflets and, from late spring into autumn, clusters of lightly fragrant, fully double, pink flowers with cream centres.
Rose Blue for You
Rose Blue for You is a bush rose with unusual rich purple-mauve, semi-double flowers that fade to a startling slate blue. A Rose with a sweet fragrance and hints of violets, it is a very free-flowering healthy rose.
RHAPSODY IN BLUE
With its exquisite mauve, violet and purple blooms, it's easy to understand the frenzy caused by Rose Rhapsody in Blue when it first appeared as the closest to a blue rose without genetic enhancement. Indeed, this versatile and unique floribunda variety went on to become the deserving winner of Rose of the Year in 2003 and Award of Garden Merit in 2012. Flowering from June to September, Rhapsody in Blue produces tight clusters of semi-double flowers, surrounded by an abundance of pale green foliage. In spite of its delicate beauty, this hardy variety is more resistant to disease than many other 'blue' roses, and can thrive in moderate temperatures preferring partial shade. Grows to a mature height of 1m. Semi double blooms of a dark iridescent purple fading to a pleasing slate blue are produced repeatedly all season. A richly sweet scented variety. Foliage is a medium green and unusually matt. This is almost certainly to be the closest there is to the highly coveted blue rose. Hardy. Good disease resistance. Grows to 120-150cm in height.
THE PILGRIM
This variety has particularly beautiful blooms. The many petalled cups, gradually open to form quite large, flat rosettes. The colour is a very attractive shade of soft yellow, the petals paling prettily towards the edges. The flowers are produced freely and repeat well. They have a medium strength fragrance, which is a perfect balance of Tea and myrrh. It will quickly reach some height and still produce flowers and leaves lower down the plant. DavidﾠAustin, 1991.

TEASING GEORGIA
A beautiful climbing rose. The rosette blooms are a rich shade of yellow, the outer petals falling back and fading to palest yellow, providing a most pleasing two-tone effect. There is a lovely strong Tea Rose fragrance. DavidﾠAustin, 1998.
CITY LIVERY
A delightful, compact, bushy floribunda rose with clusters of fully double, clear, sparkling primrose yellow blooms with five to nine blooms in each cluster which open in succession over a long period from June to September. Unlike many pale flowered roses, the blooms withstand rain and heat without damage. The blooms, with their fresh appley-scent, make good cut flowers lasting well in the vase. The mid-green foliage shows good disease resistance. This rose was named after the Worshipful Company of Chartered Surveyors and a portion of the sales is donated to their charitable fund.
Height: 90cm (3ft).

THE GENEROUS GARDENER
A rose of delicate charm with beautifully formed flowers, which nod gracefully on the stem. When the petals open they expose numerous stamens, providing an almost water lily-like effect. The flowers are a pale glowing pink, shading to palest pink on the outer petals. There is a strong and delicious fragrance with aspects of Old Rose, musk and myrrh. The leaves are a pale greyish green and they stay on until late into the winter. DavidﾠAustin, 2002.
