<strong>Country</strong> <strong>Garden</strong> <strong>Roses</strong>. Is There A Rose With Your Name On It ?<br />
FELICIA (Shrub Rose)<br />
Delicate soft pink and cream blooms fading to almost white.<br />
Flowering is most prolific in the spring, but is a little less so in summer. However the late<br />
summer and autumn show is quite something as the flowers are borne in huge panicles bearing<br />
the most highly coloured and longest lasting flowers of the year.<br />
If the spent flowers are not removed, large round red hips are produced which look most<br />
attractive among the autumn flowers. Good strong disease resistant foliage.<br />
Can really brighten up a dull autumn day. Shade tolerant and makes a good hedge<br />
Excellent Perfume.<br />
National Rose Society Certificate of Merit 1927<br />

FERDINAND (Ferdinand Pichard) (Shrub Rose)<br />
A lovely old flamboyant rose with a blooms of blush pink, carmine and crimson, with stripes of<br />
reddish purple reminiscent of an impressionist painting.<br />
Luscious pale lettuce green foliage sets off the blooms to perfection and is often described as<br />
one of the most attractive of the striped varieties. Repeat flowers well in flushes through the<br />
season and pretty versatile as it will grow in most areas plus poorer soils. Can grow upwards of<br />
4ft and will make a short climber with a bit of support. Plant in full sun and dead head<br />
regularly for best results. Has very few problems and is quite disease resistant and easy to grow,<br />
Given the Award Of <strong>Garden</strong> Merit by the Royal Horticultural Society. One of our most popular shrub roses, and one<br />
of the best of the striped roses. The lovely perfume which has been described as freshly picked raspberries and Damask.<br />
A stunning rose which makes a very glamorous and perfumed cut flower.<br />
Best lightly pruned in late winter or early spring. To encourage new young growth, prune back a few of the oldest<br />
stems each year.<br />
There is some disagreement as to whether this is a Hybrid Perpetual or Bourbon rose. The distinguished horticulturist<br />
Graham Thomas listed it as a Bourbon and often wore a bloom in his buttonhole. Bred in France by Remi Tanne<br />
1921 Most modern striped roses descend from Ferdinand Pichard.<br />
