Country Garden Roses. Is There A Rose With Your Name On It ?
SUSAN (Lazy Susan) (Ground Cover Rose)
During several years of trials for disease resistance, this little ground cover rose emerged with
an unblemished record for good health.
The flowers are small and single and are produced in great abundance in short stemmed clusters.
They soon open out into flat, carmine pink flowers with pale centres, displaying attractive stamens,
to resemble scores of cheerful yellow eyes, nestling against small. bright, shiny leaves.
In flower all summer and well into autumn.
An excellent rose from the County Ground Cover Range.
Also knowns as 'Bright Carpet ' and 'Hertfordshire'
SYLVIA (Hybrid Tea Rose)
Long pointed buds borne on upright stems opening into blooms of elegant form in , lovely clear
rose pink.
The classic shaped blooms produced singly or in clusters. make this rose ideal for cutting.
Flowers from early summer until the autumn and the flower production is excellent.
Dark green healthy foliage. Fragrant. Dead head regularly for the best results.
As with most Hybrid Tea Roses they thrive in full sun and should be fed twice a year.
A healthy rose with good disease resistance.
Also known as 'Congratulations'
AWARDS
Annerkante Deutsche Rose 1977.
British Association Of Rose Breeders Selection. 1977
SYLVIA (Lady Sylvia) (Climbing Rose)
'Lady Sylvia' has been around for a while and is still as popular as ever.
The creamy rose pink flowers are among the loveliest one could wish to see.
The young petal tips part to reveal deeper tints of pink and a hint of gold at the heart of the bloom
which, although it opens rather fast maintains a pleasing rounded outline until the petals fall.
This is a rose much grown formerly by florists, and many brides have carried it in their bouquets.
It is worth a place in the garden as a historic rose and is a great resource as a buttonhole or a cut
flower.
The plant blooms through the summer and autumn and grows quite vigorously to around 10ft.
It is long lived and has sometimes survived in old garden long after other roses have disappeared.
The leaves are dark green, and the foliage is a little sparse by today’s standards.
Sweet scent. Highly Recommended.
TAM (Tam O’ Shanter) (English Rose. David Austin)
One of the essential characteristics of the English Roses is that they differ widely between one
variety and another. This adds greatly to the pleasure we gain from them. Tam O'Shanter is so
different that we hardly know in which group to place it.
Nonetheless, its flowers are in fact typical of an English Rose of the Old Rose group.
The growth however is long and gracefully arching; the flowers opening all along their length,
rather as we might get on a Species Rose.
The individual blooms are of typical Old Rose formation, being of rosette shape. The colour is
a deep cerise pink that takes on a slightly mauve shade when the flower is fully open.
There is a light fruity fragrance.
This is a very healthy rose that would look very well in an informal garden or as part of a mixed border.
It was named to commemorate the 250th anniversary of the birth of Robbie Burns. Tam O'Shanter is the hero of one
of his best known poems, in which he has a lucky escape from the witches having stayed too long at the inn after market
day.
TESS (Tess Of The D’Urbervilles) (English Rose. David Austin)
Large fragrant flowers of bright crimson colouring.
They are of a nice, deeply cupped shape in the early stages; the petals turning back to give a less
formal but still attractive flower. Healthy dark green foliage. It has a lovely Old Rose fragrance.
It can also be grown as a short climber and will probably reach 8 or 9ft.
Very useful as it can also tolerate a North wall situation.
Named after the character from Thomas Hardy's novel.
