<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 />

For further information see Wikipedea.<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 />

Rome Gold Medal 1954<br />
