<strong>Country</strong> <strong>Garden</strong> <strong>Roses</strong>. Is There A Rose With Your Name On It ?<br />
ROBIN (Robin Hood) (Shrub Rose)<br />
With its pleasant shrub style, 'Robin Hood' is very free flowering and is also repeat<br />
flowering.<br />
The pretty cherry red blooms have a white base to each petal are produced in large clusters<br />
and really brighten up the garden. The blooms hold their colour well, no matter<br />
how bad the weather.<br />
A vigorous, dense, compact grower that does well in borders or as a specimen plant.<br />
Its vigorous qualities have been used to breed further famous roses such as 'Iceberg'<br />
Try it as a very colourful hedge with a pleasing fragrance.<br />
Named after Robin Hood a hero in English folklore, a highly skilled archer and outlaw. He was known for stealing<br />
from the rich and giving to the poor.<br />

ROGER (Jolly Roger) (Climbing Rose)<br />
A new variety with an interesting name.<br />
Jolly Roger has plenty of attractive floribunda type blooms of peachy/pink and bronze colouring<br />
and is extremely attractive. Has a good long flowering period and plenty of blooms<br />
Grows to around 10ft - 15ft with healthy foliage and a pleasant perfume.<br />
A good colour for the flower arranger and for cutting.<br />
In the couple of years that we have had it, it has shown very good health and seems disease<br />
free.<br />
A lovely rose for arches, pergolas etc, but a cracker round the door if you have room.<br />
Unfortunately it is a little too big for a container.<br />
An unusual name and we are not sure if it is named after a person, or the flag used to identify a pirate ship.<br />
ROSALIE (Blue Rosalie) (Rambling Rose)<br />
A very popular vigorous rambler which is almost thornless.<br />
Pretty blooms of violet streaked with white fading to grey in large clusters and show prominent<br />
yellow stamens.<br />
A lovely sight in full bloom in the summer and flowers a little earlier than most ramblers.<br />
Pale green pointed foliage which is fairly disease free.<br />
Very useful as it will also grow on a North wall or up through a tree.<br />
This is the best known of the three similar violet-purple ramblers, the others being 'Rose Marie<br />
Viaud' and 'Violette'.<br />
Scented. Also known as 'Blue Rambler' 'Veilchenblau' & 'Violet Blue'<br />
Royal Horticultural Society Award Of <strong>Garden</strong> Merit 1993.<br />
ROSE (Rose d’ amour) (Hybrid Tea Rose)<br />
This superb award winning rose has been popular for quite a while now and is still as popular as<br />
ever.<br />
Large and impressive blooms of blends of copper and yellow. Repeats well and has good disease<br />
resistance. A really lovely rose with dark leathery foliage which makes a real statement in the<br />
garden. Not a strong perfume but very agreeable.<br />
Belfast Gold Medal 1986<br />
Royal National Rose Society, James Masdon Gold Medal 1995<br />
Royal Horticultural Society Award Of <strong>Garden</strong> Merit 1993<br />
Also known as 'Remember Me'<br />
ROSEMARY (Rosemary Rose) (Floribunda)<br />
The very large clusters of deep pink flowers on this variety are double, camellia shaped and<br />
medium in size.<br />
The huge clusters are often more than the branches can cope with and may need a little<br />
assistance. Dead heading regularly lightens the load.<br />
Good long flowering period and always seem to be in flower right through to the autumn.<br />
When first introduced in 1954 it intrigued the rose world with its deep coppery foliage,<br />
which is now common in many varieties.<br />
It is a good bedding variety with vigorous bushy growth and a good health record.<br />
Can also make a good hedge. Well worth a place in any garden.<br />
Named for Rosemary Gregory daughter of Walter Gregory of Nottingham, whose firm introduced the rose.<br />
Royal National Rose Society Gold Medal 1954<br />
