Premium selection of roses for nature lovers(2 of 3)

'Cottage Rose'
'Cottage Rose' is a repeat-blooming David Austin shrub rose with fragrant flowers.
A good garden rose of truly Old Rose character, that will flower continually throughout the summer. Charming, medium-sized, shallowly cupped rosettes of warm, glowing pink. The blooms are produced freely and repeat flower well: no sooner has one crop gone, than numerous little branches are to be found growing all over the plant. There is a delicate Old Rose fragrance with a suggestion of almond and lilac. A bushy, upright shrub with short growth that is suitable for more formal situations.


'Glamis Castle' Rose
 'Glamis Castle' is a fragrant, compact, white, repeat-blooming David Austin rose.
‘Glamis Castle’ is a pure white rose of typical Old Rose character. 

The flowers are deeply cupped with rather informally arranged petals. It flowers with exceptional freedom and continuity; its blooms producing a wonderful airy effect in the mass. It has an English Rose, myrrh fragrance.

 A relatively short and bushy shrub with numerous twiggy branches, upon which the flowers are borne freely. Its compact growth makes it a good choice for small gardens. It will benefit from some spraying against disease. Glamis Castle is the childhood home of The Queen Mother and the legendary setting of Shakespeare’s play, Macbeth.

'Graham Thomas' Rose 
'Graham Thomas' is a yellow, fragrant repeat bloomer and the most popular David Austin rose.

The cup shaped flowers are of medium size. Their colour is an unusually rich, pure yellow that would be hard to match even among modern roses, and is entirely missing from old roses. There is a medium-strong, fresh tea rose fragrance, with a cool violet character typical of its colour group. It has attractive, smooth green foliage. Good repeat-flowering from early summer onwards.

'Molineux' Rose 

'Molineux' is a compact, hardy David Austin rose known for its repeat-blooming and being very disease resistant.

An excellent rose for bedding, although it is equally good for the border. It flowers with exceptional freedom and continuity, has even upright growth and little or no disease. The flowers are of a rich yellow colouring. It has a characteristic Tea Rose fragrance with a musky background. Winner of a Gold Medal, the President's Trophy for the 'Best New Rose of the Year' and the Henry Edland Medal for the 'Best Scented Rose', at the Royal National Rose Society Trials.

'LD Braithwaite' Rose
'LD Braithwaite' is a repeat-blooming, bright crimson, bushy David Austin rose.
This rose has the brightest crimson coloring of all the English Roses; standing out when viewed from across the garden.
It is related to Mary Rose and has many of that rose's good garden qualities.
The blooms open wide and are slightly cupped. They are produced freely and flower with remarkable continuity.
It forms a medium-sized, bushy shrub which looks particularly beautiful when grown in a mixed border.


'Abraham Darby' Rose

'Abraham Darby' is a repeat-blooming, fragrant David Austin rose with double blooms that are apricot and yellow, tinted with pink.
In early summer, ‘Abraham Darby’ bears large, deeply cupped blooms in shades of pink, apricot and yellow and, in spite of their size, they continue to be produced for the remainder of the season. They have a rich, fruity fragrance with a refreshing sharpness.


 ‘Abraham Darby’ is an excellent, vigorous, medium-sized shrub. It has a bushy, arching habit and large, polished, rather modern leaves; flower, growth and leaf are all in proportion and never clumsy. Named to celebrate the inventor Abraham Darby, who, with his son and grandson, played an important part in the industrial revolution.

Floribunda Roses
Floribunda roses are ideal for borders or containers. With a cluster of flowers topping each stem, Floridbunda roses provide an almost constant show of color, and bloom more freely than hybrid teas and grandifloras. Floribunda roses are lower growing and hardy in zones 4-9 (with proper protection).

Floribunda (Latin for "many-flowering") is a modern group of garden roses that was developed by crossing hybrid teas with polyantha roses, the latter being derived from crosses between Rosa chinensis and Rosa multiflora (sometimes called R. polyantha).[1] The idea was to create roses that bloomed with the polyantha profusion, but with hybrid tea floral beauty and colour range.


Vavoom Rose
Ever seen a rose stand up and say 'Howdy'? Vavoom has the color that'll do the trick. Its bright orange juice tones might make your eyes pucker...but its sweet treat of glowing color last tothe very end of every long-lived blossom. Put that gleaming orange against deep mahogany red new growth & glossy green leaves & you've got a lollapalooza for the landscape. The rounded compact plant can tuck into limited spaces. Caution: Sunglasses may be required!

Love Song rose 
Love Song's large, lavender colored, flowers nearly cover this shrub.
Old fashioned blooms are long lasting and do not turn an unsightly color as they age.

This has large, classically shaped flowers of warm pink and porcelain white. The blooms last a long time and are so good for cutting and bringing in the house. In the garden they are borne on a sturdy bushy plant. It has a delicious rose and fruit fragrance. 4ft (Wekmoomar Carruth 2008).

Hot Cocoa Rose
The color is outrageously, heart-stoppingly gorgeous, though it seems to vary with temperature, time, and the eye of the beholder.
Mysterious, indescribable, elusive…whatever! There’s just no other rose color quite like this. Pointed buds of deep rust unfurl to reveal a chocolate haze of velvety smoked tones that can even take on a purply cast. Set against gobs of glossy foliage, the ruffled fragrant flowers are mirrored by super-green leaves. Easy vigor and natural disease-resistance make it a must for every garden. Keeps on smokin’ even when the weather turns warm.
