WILLIAM (William Lobb) (Shrub Rose)
Deservedly one of the most popular Moss Roses 'William Lobb' grows vigorously up to
8ft (2.5m).
Its long, firm stems, covered in greyish brown moss, have many stout thorns and are
overlaid dark grey-green, medium sized and coarse, well serrated foliage.
The buds have a lot of soft, mid to dark green moss,
The semi-double large flowers are almost ragged in structure but charming nevertheless,
especially when fully open when displaying the centres of golden yellow stamens
that contrast so beautifully with the purplish petals which have a lavender pink reverse.
Deep down near the base, each petal is flecked with white.
There is a strong scent and the flowers appear in mid summer in great profusion.
It is useful as both a tall shrub or small climber, on walls trellises and arches, but will need a little support.
Named after the Cornish plant collector. 1809-1863. For further details see Wikipedea.
Bred by Jean Laffay. France 1855
Also known as 'Old Velvet Moss'
WILLIAM (William Morris) (English Rose. David Austin)
A good strong tall and elegant rose with outstanding pink-apricot blooms.
A superb rose for the back of the border or makes a cracking specimen on its own.
As with all this variety the perfume is always a delight.

WILLIAM (William Shakespeare 200) (English Rose. David Austin)
A rose with exquisite blooms of the richest velvety crimson, gradually to an equally rich purple.
Deeply cupped at first, the flower soon opens out to a shallow quartered cup.
The growth is neat and upright each stem bearing a number of flowers.
This rose has the strong, Old Rose fragrance that we expect, but do not always find. in deep red
roses.
An outstanding English Rose with excellent disease resistance.
Named after William Shakespeare who has been voted 'Man Of The Millennium'
YVONNE (Yvonne Rabier) Shrub Rose)
A charming little shrub rose that always seems to be in flower. Masses of small double
ivory white blooms with a hint of lemon and pink. The blooms are extremely weatherproof
and hold their own whatever the weather throws at them. An award winning rose
with delightful, healthy shiny foliage with good disease resistance.
Will grow anywhere, but for the best flower show give it a cosy warm spot in the garden.
It is not very big for a shrub rose, so can be grown quite successfully in a container, or
can be a very attractive low hedge. Scented.
