<strong>Country</strong> <strong>Garden</strong> <strong>Roses</strong>. Is There A Rose With Your Name On It ?<br />

CHARLES (Prince Charles) (Shrub Rose)<br />

This lovely old medium to tall Bourbon rose has loose semi-double blooms of crimson-mauve with<br />

some veining in the flower.<br />

It is very similar to the well known Bourbon Queen.<br />

The stems are almost thornless and the foliage is large and deep green.<br />

A very handsome rose that will grow to around five feet so give it<br />

plenty of room.<br />

A good health record and excellent disease resistance.<br />

Summer flowering but well worth a place in any garden.<br />

Fragrant.<br />

CHARLIE (Bonnie Prince Charlie’s Rose) (Shrub Rose)<br />

The origin of the Alba <strong>Roses</strong> is lost, but there are many ideas as to their parentage.<br />

With nearly single blooms, and significant anthers, the largest of the Albas has a sweet scent and<br />

pure white flowers.<br />

The attractive grey green leaves and autumn hips extend the season.<br />

Sometimes offered as simply 'Semi Plena' rosarians are divided over its worthiness. Some feel it is<br />

under rated and others feel that other Albas far outshine it.<br />

It was introduced into the UK by invading Roman armies and shares the honour with a simple<br />

white Alba as the 'White Rose Of York'<br />

Still grown in Bulgaria for attar.<br />

Summer flowering.<br />

Royal Horticultural Society Award Of <strong>Garden</strong> Merit 1993<br />

Also known as the 'White Rose Of York' & 'Rosa Alba Semi Plena'<br />

CHARLIE (Charlie’s Rose) (Hybrid Tea Rose)<br />

This rose will be around long after TVs Ground Force has faded from the memory.<br />

Superb large blooms with a mixture of cherry red and silvery pink.<br />

Named after Charlie Dimmock the popular gardener of "Ground Force" fame.<br />

A tall handsome rose that really makes a statement in the garden.<br />

Flowers from early summer through to the first frosts and is a great addition to any garden.<br />

A tough and easy to grow variety which makes a lovely cut flower and has become very popular<br />

with flower arrangers.<br />

The blooms are pretty weatherproof and have the added bonus of a wonderful perfume.<br />

Named For Amnesty International.<br />

Bred in Germany 1994 Introduced to the UK 2001 Also known as 'Acapella'<br />

CHARLIE (Cheerful Charlie) (Floribunda Rose)<br />

An attractive Floribunda with masses of bright red flowers with frilly petals.<br />

Flowers throughout the summer and well into the autumn.<br />

Medium green foliage which sets the blooms off to perfection. Nice bushy compact<br />

growth and excellent health record. Quite at home in the border or will be equally happy<br />

in a container. Lots of blooms so dead head regularly to promote further blooms and keep<br />

the plant tidy.<br />

Lives up to its name and is very cheerful looking rose.<br />

A real eye catcher with a pleasant fragrance.<br />

Bred in Scotland 2001 Introduced 2004<br />

CHARLOTTE (English Rose. David Austin)<br />

Soft yellow and beautifully arranged deeply cupped blooms. A little smaller than the usual David<br />

Austin rose but is a superb little rose.<br />

Repeat flowers extremely well and is very highly recommended.<br />

The growth is compact, bushy and rather upright.<br />

All in all one of the most beautiful of the English <strong>Roses</strong>, and also for areas with particularly cold<br />

winters, one of the hardiest.<br />

It has a delicious Tea Rose fragrance.<br />
