Midsummer sees the garden at the peak of its glory, with roses looking particularly beautiful.
Roses have a classic beauty and real source of pleasure in traditional and contemporary gardens alike, bringing glamour and elegance, colour and fragrance. We all know the saying: “Stop and smell the roses” well that phase wasn’t chosen by chance.

SCARBOROUGH FAIR® Despite the impression of utmost delicacy, this is a very tough, reliable variety. With its abundant soft pink, semi-double flowers, held in large sprays, they have an Old Rose, musky scent.
KEW GARDENS® With it’s small, single flowers held in very large heads, rather like a hydrangea, it almost continuously blooms from early summer well into autumn. Soft apricot buds open to pure white, with a hint of soft lemon behind the stamens. It’s almost thornless, so perfect for positioning near eating areas.
BRING ME SUNSHINE® Bearing deeply filled, cupped rosette blooms of rich sunset orange-yellow, palling to lighter apricot tones over time. An upright, bushy shrub has a heady, complex medium-strong Myrrh fragrance.
THE GENEROUS GARDENER® Bears beautifully formed pale, glowing pink flowers, which nod gracefully on the stem. When the petals open they expose numerous stamens, providing an almost water lily-like effect. They produce a delicious fragrance with aspects of Old Rose, musk and myrrh.
We have a fantastic range of Whartons standard, climbing, rambling and shrub roses, so why not pop in and pick the perfect one for your garden.
We are also proud David Austin Rose stockist.
