Country Garden Roses. Is There A Rose With Your Name On It ?
GERALDINE (Shrub Rose)
The flowers of this variety are orange, of an unusually clear tone.
Clusters of the plump buds open into double flowers of medium size, the petals in the centre
being tightly coiled and holding this form for sometime before reflexing to form a cup.
When taken young they are useful for small flower arrangements. Suitable for a bed, border or
a container.
The flowers maintain a good continuity of bloom through summer and autumn.
The growth is upright and the is average height for a floribunda.
Light green semi glossy foliage.
A healthy rose with good disease resistance.
As with most prolific floribundas dead head regularly to promote further blooms and keep the plant tidy.
The breeder Colin Pearce of Devon named this rose for his wife.
Scented.
GERTRUDE (Gertrude Jekyll) (English Rose. David Austin)
A sister to 'The Countryman' with stronger, more upright growth.
Perfect little scrolled buds expand rather surprisingly into quite large rosette-shaped flowers of beautiful
Old Rose character and rich pink colouring.
The growth is tall and vigorous, making it perhaps more suitable for middle or the back of the border,
although easy access should be allowed to appreciate the particularly strong, superb and perfectly balanced
Old Rose fragrance, the quintessential rose fragrance.
Very healthy and reliable and is also tolerant of partial shade.
It can also be grown as a short climber.
Winner of the James Mason Award in 2002 and voted the nation's favourite rose by BBC viewrs in 2006.
Highly Recommended. Outstanding Perfume.
Named after the famed English writer and garden designer (1843-1932)
GHITA (Renaissance Rose)
A new variety from the increasingly popular Renaissance Rose group.
An attractive rose with medium pink flowers which have classic quartered centres.
As with the rest of this group the growth is strong healthy and reliable.
Most of the Renaissance roses are highly scented and this latest one is no exception.
Regret we always have limited supplies so this rose is not available as Summer Pruned or a Bare Root
Rose.
Highly recommended.
Also known as Millie and Mum In A Million.
Bred in Denmark 1997
Introduced into the UK 2005
GLORIA (Gloria Mundi) (Shrub Rose)
Officially this old rose is a Polyantha rose, but as we do not have a Polyantha section we have classed it as
a shrub rose.
A very popular rose for many years as it was grown in great numbers in gardens and parks around the
world.
Plenty of red/orange blooms throughout the season in clusters on a compact healthy bush.
Dark green healthy foliage. Not sold in many Nurseries today, which is a shame as it is quite a colourful
little rose which is quite versatile.
It is quite hardy but does prefer a warm position in the garden for the best results.
Can also be grown in a container, and is tolerant of a bit of shade and poorer soils.
Bred in the Netherlands in 1929
GRACE (English Rose. David Austin)
This superb rose is a real eye-catcher.
An excellent variety with flowers of a lovely pure apricot - darker in the middle, paler towards the
edges, a colour that blends well with other shades, especially dark reds and purples.
The blooms are shallowly cupped at first, slowly opening to form a perfect rosette with the outer
petals reflexed.
It forms a good, branching shrub that is very healthy and repeat flowers extremely well. In every
way, an excellent garden plant.
A delicious Tea fragrance with a warm sensuous background.
Winner of several awards.
One of our favourite roses.
