Country Garden Roses. Is There A Rose With Your Name On It ?
BEATRIX (Beatrix Potter) (Shrub Rose)
A lovely new Shrub/Climber which looks sure to be popular. The shapely blooms are of the
softest pink shade, with many petals. Flowers throughout the season and well into the autumn
plus the bonus of a very pleasant perfume. An upright and tidy habit with healthy
dark green glossy foliage. A versatile rose as it can be grown as a large shrub, or with a
little assistance can be grown as a short climber. Quite happy in the ground or a large container,
and is tolerant of poorer soils.
Named for the Beatrix Potter Society for their 30th anniversary.
The Society exists to promote the study and appreciation of the life and works of Beatrix Potter (1866-1943)
As well as writing the famous children's classics, during the latter years of her life Beatrix Potter was responsible for
the preservation of large areas of the Lake District through her gifts to the National Trust.
A donation will be given to the Beatrix Potter Society and the National Trust for every rose sold in its first year of
introduction. Bred by Peter Beales. UK
BELINDA (Shrub Rose)
The semi-double flowers of this variety are a very warm shade of rose pink, with small areas of
white at the base of the petals which, when they are seen from a distance, give them an airy effect.
Although rather small, they make an impact because of the amount of bloom. The large clusters
of blooms are so crowded that they have to jostle for space to display their ruffled petals.
After the first spectacular flush there is a good repeat bloom into late summer.
It is a strong grower to above average height but can be kept lower by pruning.
Alternatively it can be left to grow and it makes a small climber or a good and colourful hedge.
Deep green foliage with good disease resistance.
Tolerant of shade and a nice perfume. ( Quite A Rare Rose )
Bred by Ann Bentall and named after her daughter Belinda.
The following year her 'Ballerina' was introduced and its greater success caused 'Belinda' to be rather unfairly undervalued.
However 'Belinda' has stood the test of time, and even now may become as widely used as 'Ballerina' as she is
just as pretty.
BENJAMIN (Benjamin Britten) (English Rose. David Austin)
An unusual colour among English Roses.
It starts as a very deep, almost salmon pink which then changes to an intense pink-red. Deeply
cut flowers gradually develop into an open, slightly cupped rosette.
'Benjamin Britten' is a useful rose to provide a highlight among the softer shades of most English
Roses. It is of medium height, vigorous, with dense growth and excellent foliage. In warmer climates
it can easily be trained as a climber. Very good in all climates, winning the best climbing
award in Adelaide.
The fragrance is intensely fruity, with aspects of wine and pear drops.
Named to commemorate the life and work of the famous English composer, conductor and performer.
BERENICE (Hybrid Tea Rose)
A really lovely new hybrid tea that looks certain to be popular. Large classic well formed blooms of
ivory/pink with deeper centres. Nice neat compact growth with healthy mid green foliage.
Plenty of blooms from late spring until the first frosts.
A robust rose with an attractive perfume. Also known as 'Commonwealth Glory'
BERYL (Beryl Joyce) (Hybrid Tea Rose)
An upright bushy rose producing masses of soft orange blooms with a superb fragrance.
The large blooms have an old fashioned appearance and are excellent for cutting.
Flowers throughout the summer and well into autumn.
A superb rose that makes a real statement in the garden.
Good disease resistance.
Bred in Germany 1996.
Introduced into the UK 2005
