Country Garden Roses. Is There A Rose With Your Name On It ? ELIZABETH (Queen Elizabeth) (Floribunda Rose) This remarkable variety has maintained its popularity for over 50 years. It bears large pointed medium pink blooms that have a high centre. They appear throughout the summer and autumn and are double, with 38 petals. A vigorous plant that with light pruning, develops into an impressive shrub reaching around 8ft or even more. Every few years it can be cut down hard to rejuvenate it and produce nice new growth. It has large , dark green, leathery foliage, and is an ideal rose for the back of the border, a specimen rose, or a substantial and colourful hedge. The late Queen Mother granted her permission for her name to be associated with this rose on condition that it should be named in full - 'The Queen Elizabeth Rose' Well worth a place in any garden but does now seem to need spraying to keep it spotless. Fragrant. AWARDS Portland Gold Medal 1954 National Rose Society President's International Trophy 1955 All America Rose Selection 1955 American Rose Society Gold Medal 1957 Golden Rose Of The Hague 1968 World's Favourite Rose 1979 'Queen Elizabeth' was voted the World's Favourite Rose in 1979 by the World Federation Of Rose Societies. The Federation also entered the rose into the Society's Rose Hall Of Fame in 1979 an honour shared with just 13 other roses. Also known as 'Queen Of England' 'The Queen Elizabeth Rose' ELIZABETH (Sister Elizabeth) (English Rose. David Austin) A charming little rose of low, rounded growth, which arches and branches freely to form a neat mound. The rose pink flowers have a distinct lilac tinge and are of similar character to an Old Rose, each being a perfect rosette with a button eye at the centre. They have a strong sweet, spicy, Old Rose fragrance. An excellent rose for the front of the border, where it will mingle beautifully with perennials. It is also ideal as a hedge or can be grown in a large container. Sister Elizabeth is a Cistercian nun from the Holy Cross Abbey in Whitland, South Wales. She has long been a great rose lover. ELLEN (Ellen Willmott) (Shrub Rose) One of our favourite old roses. Single blooms in clusters of cream laced with pink, plus exquisite stamens of claret. A strong healthy bush with dark green leathery foliage. Quite a stunning rose. Highly Recommended. Fruity Fragrance. W.E.B. Archer produced some excellent single large flowered roses in the 1930s and this was one of his best. It was named after Miss Willmott of Warley Place in Essex famous for her book 'The Genus Rosa' and for her gardens at Warley Place and in the south of France; at one stage she employed 65 gardeners. As time went on, however, the never-married Miss Willmott became a little odd and cantankerous. She bought properties in France and Italy, and built gardens there, so that at one time she had more than 65 gardeners on her pay-roll. She was arrested for shop-lifting (the charges were eventually dropped), took to carrying a revolver in her handbag and booby-trapped her daffodil fields to deter bulb thieves. When she died in 1934 she was penniless and her estate, with the garden where once 100,000 species from all over the world had been expertly cultivated, was sold to a developer to pay her debts. EMANNUELLE (Climbing Rose) Large salmon pink classic hybrid tea type blooms. A really lovely rose that has a spectacular show early summer and a steady succession of blooms right through until autumn. The high centred blooms open gracefully and last quite some while on the plant. Well furnished with large semi glossy foliage. A good rose for training up walls, pillars and pergolas etc. A good rose for cutting as the blooms last very well in water. Delicious fragrance. Highly Recommended. Also known as 'Leaping Salmon' www.countrygardenroses.co.uk 20

One of the healthiest of all the yellow ramblers. It has dark, glossy bronze foliage on an extremely vigorous plant with pliable canes. A good rose for pergolas and arches and for growing into trees. Will tolerate a North wall and partial shade, Fragrant. Winner of the National Rose Society Gold Medal. Bred by Dr A H Williams who named this rose after his sister. EMMA (Lady Emma Hamilton) (English Rose. David Austin) Quite a bright colour for an English Rose but very useful for creating a little excitement in the border. The tight buds are a most wonderful dark red with dashes of orange. When fully open the flowers are a lovely mixture of a rich, almost tangerine-orange with a more yellow-orange back to the petals; the whole is set off against the very dark, bronzy green leaves. A fairly upright but bushy shrub of medium height that flowers freely and remains healthy. A strong delicious fruity fragrance, with hints of pear, grape and citrus fruits.
