Country Garden Roses. Is There A Rose With Your Name On It ? REX (Sexy Rexy) (Floribunda Rose) Saucily named this lovely rose has masses of soft pink blooms in clusters. The clusters last for weeks and the repeat cycle is quite fast so it always seems to be in flower. In a good warm summer the branches are weighed down with the large number of blooms, so it sometimes needs support. Dead head regularly for the best show of flowers and keep the rose tidy. Small mid green foliage on a compact healthy bush. One of the best Floribundas around. Highly recommended. Good Fragrance. As far as we know this rose was named after a New Zealand policeman. One wonders what he got up to on his beat to gain such a name. Auckland New Zealand Rose Of The Year 1991 Canada. Best Floribunda 1999 ROB (Rob Roy) (Floribunda Rose) Beautiful large crimson scarlet blooms which are high centred and elongated like small scale hybrid tea blooms. The large and impressive blooms can be 4ins (10cm) wide. They open somewhat loosely, in open clusters, maintaining a good clear colour tone and quite weatherproof Blooms in abundance with a good long flowering period throughout the summer until the first frost in the autumn. Dead head on a regular basis to promote further blooms and you will have colour all summer. Nice healthy glossy foliage which makes this lovely rose one of the best red floribundas around at the moment. A good colourful rose for cutting or buttonholes. Fragrant. Named after Robert Roy Macgregor the famous Scottish warrior. 1671-1734. For further information see Wikipedia. Royal National Rose Society Trial Ground Certificate. 1969 ROBERT (Robert Le Diable) (Shrub Rose) This rose bears fragrant flowers made up of many petals. When fully open, they reflex around the edge of the flowers to create a flat cushion effect. If the shape is unusual, the colour is even more so, for it varies within each bloom from deepest purple to softest lilac, mottled or splashed with bright red. In very dry weather, the colours intensify and deepen. It is a sizable, lax shrub, growing as broad at it is tall, which in good soil can be up to 4ft (1,2m) high. The arching thorny stems are covered with narrow, dark green leaves with good disease resistance. Few roses have such intensely coloured flowers which makes this attractive rose an asset to any garden. Summer flowering. Robert le diable (Robert the Devil) is an opera by Giacomo Meyerbeer, often regarded as the first grand opera. ROBERTA (English Rose. David Austin) Lovely paeony shaped blooms of blush pink adorn this large English shrub rose. After the first flush of flowers the bush continues to show colour through summer and autumn. Has a good covering of dark green semi gloss foliage. As with most English roses the fragrance is excellent with overtones of fruit, honey and carnation on a myrrh background. Also known as 'Heritage' ROBIN (Robin Redbreast) (Patio Rose) This lovely small and compact bush bears dark red blooms with a white and yellow eye and a silver reverse. Very colourful in the garden or container and always seems to be in flower. A very healthy and vigorous little plant which can also be used as a ground cover. An ideal rose for small beds or narrow borders. Dead head regularly to promote further blooms and keep the plant tidy. Highly Recommended. www.countrygardenroses.co.uk www.countrygardenroses.co.uk 58
Country Garden Roses. Is There A Rose With Your Name On It ? ROBIN (Robin Hood) (Shrub Rose) With its pleasant shrub style, 'Robin Hood' is very free flowering and is also repeat flowering. The pretty cherry red blooms have a white base to each petal are produced in large clusters and really brighten up the garden. The blooms hold their colour well, no matter how bad the weather. A vigorous, dense, compact grower that does well in borders or as a specimen plant. Its vigorous qualities have been used to breed further famous roses such as 'Iceberg' Try it as a very colourful hedge with a pleasing fragrance. Named after Robin Hood a hero in English folklore, a highly skilled archer and outlaw. He was known for stealing from the rich and giving to the poor. For further information see Wikipedea. ROGER (Jolly Roger) (Climbing Rose) A new variety with an interesting name. Jolly Roger has plenty of attractive floribunda type blooms of peachy/pink and bronze colouring and is extremely attractive. Has a good long flowering period and plenty of blooms Grows to around 10ft - 15ft with healthy foliage and a pleasant perfume. A good colour for the flower arranger and for cutting. In the couple of years that we have had it, it has shown very good health and seems disease free. A lovely rose for arches, pergolas etc, but a cracker round the door if you have room. Unfortunately it is a little too big for a container. An unusual name and we are not sure if it is named after a person, or the flag used to identify a pirate ship. ROSALIE (Blue Rosalie) (Rambling Rose) A very popular vigorous rambler which is almost thornless. Pretty blooms of violet streaked with white fading to grey in large clusters and show prominent yellow stamens. A lovely sight in full bloom in the summer and flowers a little earlier than most ramblers. Pale green pointed foliage which is fairly disease free. Very useful as it will also grow on a North wall or up through a tree. This is the best known of the three similar violet-purple ramblers, the others being 'Rose Marie Viaud' and 'Violette'. Scented. Also known as 'Blue Rambler' 'Veilchenblau' & 'Violet Blue' Royal Horticultural Society Award Of Garden Merit 1993. ROSE (Rose d’ amour) (Hybrid Tea Rose) This superb award winning rose has been popular for quite a while now and is still as popular as ever. Large and impressive blooms of blends of copper and yellow. Repeats well and has good disease resistance. A really lovely rose with dark leathery foliage which makes a real statement in the garden. Not a strong perfume but very agreeable. Belfast Gold Medal 1986 Royal National Rose Society, James Masdon Gold Medal 1995 Royal Horticultural Society Award Of Garden Merit 1993 Also known as 'Remember Me' ROSEMARY (Rosemary Rose) (Floribunda) The very large clusters of deep pink flowers on this variety are double, camellia shaped and medium in size. The huge clusters are often more than the branches can cope with and may need a little assistance. Dead heading regularly lightens the load. Good long flowering period and always seem to be in flower right through to the autumn. When first introduced in 1954 it intrigued the rose world with its deep coppery foliage, which is now common in many varieties. It is a good bedding variety with vigorous bushy growth and a good health record. Can also make a good hedge. Well worth a place in any garden. Named for Rosemary Gregory daughter of Walter Gregory of Nottingham, whose firm introduced the rose. Royal National Rose Society Gold Medal 1954 Rome Gold Medal 1954 www.countrygardenroses.co.uk 59
