Country Garden Roses. Is There A Rose With Your Name On It ? HARRY (Harry Wheatcroft) See Harry HELEN (Helen Knight) (Shrub Rose) This rose bears 5 petalled, saucer shaped, bright yellow flowers of small to medium size. They appear in profusion in late spring or early summer to create a picture of beauty against, arching, reddish stems and light green, fern like foliage. It should be only summer flowering, but for many years we have seen quite a good show of blooms later in the year. It is one of the first roses to bloom in the spring and heralds the new rose season. The plant can be grown as a free standing shrub, and is best left to grow naturally without having to be pruned, apart from the removal of dead or crossing branches. It can also be trained upwards against a wall as it tends to grow taller and wider than the average shrub rose. Although it is hardy, it is best to avoid a very frosty position. Named after the wife of Frank Knight of the Royal Horticultural Society Gardens at Wisley. Royal Horticultural Society Award Of Garden Merit 1994 HELMUT (Helmut Schmidt) (Hybrid Tea Rose) The large pointed buds of this variety give promise of big flowers to come, and they are beauties. The urn shaped young blooms develop high centres around which the outer petals are arranged with wonderful symmetry. They usually appear one per strong, upright stem, which makes the variety an excellent cutting rose, especially as the blooms hold their shape and last well in water. It is a good rose for general garden use, flowering on through summer and autumn though tending to produce a flush of bloom followed by a pause. The plant grows neat and upright to slightly below average height, with matt green foliage. A very healthy rose with good disease resistance. Scented Named after the former German chancellor. Helmut Schmidt. Also known as Simba' in the UK. 'Simba' is the Swahili word for lion’ & 'Goldsmith' in the USA Bred by Kordes in Germany AWARDS Courtrai Gold Medal 1979 Geneva Gold Medal 1979 Royal National Rose Society Trial Ground Certificate 1979 HENRI (Henry Matisse) (Shrub Rose) This lovely rose is another in the 'Painters Collection' from the French rose breeders Delbard. The collection is inspired by the great French impressionists . This very attractive rose is large flowered with swirling colours of white, pink and red resembling the colours of raspberries and rose. A good healthy rose with a wonderful perfume. Named after the late Henri Matisse 1869 - 1954. HENRIETTA (Henrietta Barnett) Floribunda Rose) A lovely new Floribunda with masses of blooms which are quite unusual. The opening buds are tinted light lime green before opening to glowing amber, in a subtle and distinctive colour change. Looks superb as a single specimen or in groups and can also be grown in a large container. Good repeat flowering habit and a superb myrrh scent. Makes a good cut flower. Henrietta Barnett was a visionary philanthropist who founded the Hampstead Garden Suburb Institute . 1851-1936 HERMIONE (Gentle Hermione) (English Rose. David Austin) Perfectly formed flowers of true Old Rose character. Lovely soft blush pink petals on the outside with pure pink at the centre.

Hermione was the faithful wife of Leontes, the King of Sicilia and mother of Perdita in Shakespeare's "The Winter's Tale" HONEY (Honeybunch) (Patio Rose) Masses of yellow and salmon blooms on this little beauty which always seems to be in flower.

Country Garden Roses. Is There A Rose With Your Name On It ? HOPE (Floribunda Rose) A low growing bushy compact and very free flowering floribunda. Large trusses of deep red blooms are carried all season. Good strong healthy growth and a superb addition to any garden. Can also be grown in a container. Very hardy and reliable. Scented. HUGH (Hugh Dickson) (Shrub Rose) Has been popular for over 100 years especially as a cut flower and a bedding rose. The thick round buds open to show enormous dark red high centred blooms containing 38 petals. The enormous blooms are carried erect on long stems and the large, rounded petals open to reveal an exposed centre. It likes sun but will cope with shade, flowers all summer and produces a lovely harvest of autumn blooms. The thick stems are covered with foliage that is red when young and turns green as it ages. A very useful rose as it can be grown as a specimen in the garden, can be easily trained as a short climber, and also makes a very attractive scented hedge. For the very best results it need dead heading regularly, but will still thrive if left to its own devices. Superb perfume. Named for the son of the founder of the famous Dickson nursery. HUSBAND (My Darling Husband) (Floribunda Rose) A very attractive new floribunda rose with masses of blooms of rich apricot with a hint of ivory. Flowers throughout the season and well into the autumn and the first frosts. Quite happy in the garden or container and has an excellent health record. Keep it fed and watered well, dead head regularly and it will keep blooming with hardly a break. An excellent rose with a lovely sweet spicy fragrance. Very limited stocks this year so order early. Something a little different. INGRID (Floribunda Rose) This lovely little rose was bred in Canada and is called a Mini Flora over there. A little bigger than a Patio rose and smaller than the average Floribunda, we have listed it under Floribunda's to save any confusion. The small exhibition quality blooms are high centred and just like tiny HT blooms. The colour is red with a yellow flush down to the bottom of the petals. A very free flowering little rose that will go on blooming right through the summer into autumn. A very healthy and hardy little rose which looks great in a bed or container and has a very good perfume for such a small rose. The breeder rates this little stunner very highly and thinks this is one of the best he has bred. Best planted in a sunny position and dead headed regularly The only downside is that it has slightly more thorns that usual. Bred by George Mander in Canada who named the rose after is wife. INGRID (Ingrid Bergman) (Hybrid Tea Rose) This wonderful rose has been acclaimed in rose trials all over the world, which gives a good indication of its performance. The high quality blooms are velvet red, fully double and hold their colour well, and the new flowering shoots appear freely after each flush of bloom. It has vigorous upright growth and dark green leathery leaves. A superb strong rose which is almost entirely disease resistant. Worth a place in every rose garden as it gives so much pleasure. Highly Recommended. Very Fragrant. Named after the popular Hollywood film actress of Swedish origin (1915-1882).
