Country Garden Roses. Is There A Rose With Your Name On It ?
FRED (Fred Loads) (Shrub/Climbing Rose)
Enormous clusters of semi double orange-vermilion blooms at the top of extremely long canes.
The flowers are quite something and can be 3ins across and make superb exhibition blooms and a
real splash of colour in the garden throughout the summer. For the best show of flowers prune
hard in the spring.
Pruned lightly it makes an impenetrable colourful hedge, or can be trained as a small climber.
Has an abundance of good glossy foliage and is reasonably disease resistant.
A very popular rose with a nice perfume. Will also tolerate shade and poor soils.
National Rose Society Gold Medal 1967.
Royal Horticultural Society Award Of Garden Merit 1993.
Named after Fred Loads an English gardener who starred in the radio programme Gardener's Question Time.
FRITZ (Fritz Nobis) (Shrub Rose)
This is one of the most beautiful roses ever raised, and seems to have every leaf, petal and flower,
in the right place.
A graceful arching shrub with an abundance of fresh pale pink blooms with a shade of salmon and
even hints of cream and yellow. The blooms are borne in clusters of 20 or more and have a pleasing
clove like fragrance.
The arching branches are covered in leathery greyish green leaves which are extremely healthy.
Only summer flowering but the whole effect is as beautiful as you will ever find in any rose garden.
A splendid and easy rose to grow, which is very versatile as it can make an attractive and fragrant hedge, is tolerant of
shade and poor soils.
Bred by Kordes in Germany 1940.
Royal Horticultural Society Award Of Garden Merit 1993.
FULTON (Fulton Mackay) (Hybrid Tea Rose)
The beauty of this rose lies in the outstanding quality of the flowers, which open from long buds to
classically shaped large flowered blooms with high centres, surrounded by broad re-flexing petals.
They are rich apricot-yellow with pink veining, with reddish salmon tints on the outer petals.
There is a prolific first flush of blooms which is followed by plenty more blooms throughout the
summer and autumn.
An excellent rose for bedding and for cutting as the blooms last well.
The plant has a bushy upright habit and plenty of glossy mid green foliage. Pleasing Spicy Perfume.
Named after the distinguished Scottish actor of "Porridge" fame.
Also known as "First Class" "Miribel"
Royal National Rose Society Trial Ground Certificate 1984
Glasgow Gold Medal 1992
GAY (Lady Gay) (Rambling Rose)
The breeder of 'Lady Gay' felt it was an improvement over his other creation 'Dorothy Perkins'
but 'Lady Gay' has never achieved the popularity of its stable mate.
The double, salmon pink blooms are small to medium sized and and appear both in sprays
and in clusters on the long, pliable stems.
Fragrant and proliferous the flowers resemble 'Dorothy Perkins' but have a stronger resistance
to disease. The glossy foliage is small and dark green, and has a vigorous growth habit
and can reach 20ft in a couple of seasons.
Even experts find it difficult to tell the difference between the two roses, except for the fact that 'Lady Gay' is stronger
and healthier. Summer flowering and easy to train up arches and trees etc.
Well worth a place in any rose lovers garden; if you have the room.
GEMMA (Floribunda Rose)
A real rich colour with cool depths.
Gemma has plentiful trusses of deep rose pink which are under laid with a hint of mauve. An ideal
colour to fit into mixed summer borders.
Healthy glossy leathery leaves anf flowers right through the season until the first frosts.
It is not too big so will be quite happy in a container and will be quite a bold show in full bloom.
A very healthy little rose with a pleasant fragrance.
Plant in full sun, water and feed well throughout the season, dead head regularly for a cracking
display of colour.
