Country Garden Roses. Is There A Rose With Your Name On It ?
THELMA (Rambling Rose)
An interesting old rambler which has been around for a long time and is now quite hard to
find.
This rose has flowers of an unusual colour for a rambler. They are coral-pink suffused with
deep carmine with a mass of stamens in the centre, semi-double and borne in small to medium
sized clusters.
The individual flowers are quite large for a rambler and are often 3ins (8cm) wide.
The blooms are an exquisite shape especially when fully open.
It is only summer flowering with occasional blooms later in the season.
The flowering season lasts a little longer than other ramblers and the blooms are unnafected by the weather.
Not a powerful perfume but very pleasant.
A healthy rambler which is reliably disease resistant and almost thornless.
Bred by Rose breeder Walter Easlea in the UK 1927 and named after his grand daughter who lives in New Zealand.
TWIGGY (Shrub Rose)
An English icon such as Twiggy deserves a suitably timeless rose, which is indeed a challenge;
but ‘Twiggy’s Rose’ does everything, then a bit more, to rise to the occasion.
‘Twiggy’s Rose’ is magnificently bushy, immaculate in its style of growth. Flowering in elegant
clusters begins in early June, and is practically continual until the start of winter.
Added to that, ‘Twiggy’s Rose’ is as pretty as a picture, and has a pleasing scent into the bargain.
It’s a ‘must’ for general planting in beds, groups and hedges; excellent for mixing in summer
borders; and delightful to cut for the vase.
VALENTINE (Valentine Heart) (Floribunda Rose)
The blooms of this charming rose cover a wide range of colours. The buds are pale scarlet, opening
to blush pink on the inside of the petals, and then go through various shades of rosy lilac and
pink.
Spent blooms should be removed regularly to promote further blooms and to keep the bush tidy.
A good continuity of blooms through to autumn. A nice healthy rose with good disease resistance.
Pleasing fragrance.
A lovely gift for that Special Person In Your Life.
VALENTINE (My Valentine) (Hybrid Tea Rose)
Crimson hybrid tea roses of quality are a rarity these days, so its good to have this addition.
A strong clean grower producing classically formed large blooms on strong stems.
Makes a good cut flower and has a pleasant fragrance.
Will last for many years in the garden, and is far better value than a bunch of cut florist roses
which will only last for a few days. Give this beautiful rose as a gift to a loved one and put the
romance back into your life.
Also known as "Grande Amore"
Bred Kordes. Germany 1995
Introduced into the UK 2004
VICTORIA (Climbing Rose)
A rare and unusual rose which is not widely grown these days which is a great shame as it is
very beautiful.
The bloom colour is mainly pink with a flush of apricot in the centre.
However depending on the weather it can produce flowers of creamy white, or even yellow.
The blooms are very large and are produced throughout the season with the bonus of a heady
tea fragrance.
Although it is quite hardy it requires a sheltered, sunny position to be seen at its best.
Stocks are always a little short, so order early to avoid disappointment.
Also known as the 'Magnolia Rose' and ‘Devoniensis’
VICTORIA (La Reine Victoria) (Shrub Rose)
'La Reine Victoria' displays rich pink globular blooms that have a tint of mauve in the
pink.
They are very double and have up to 40 silky textured petals, and cupped.
It flowers right through the season but the spring flush is particularly profuse. In
autumn, the flowers are produced on very long stems. The growth is strong and up-
