Sadler’s Wells

Unique to us in the UK. Bred by Peter Beales Roses and released in 1983. (Modern Shrub) This is a fine, continuous flowering shrub. The semi-single flowers are produced in large, well-spaced clusters on a vigorous plant. The background colour is silvery-pink but each petal is laced with cherry red edging. A fine sight in full bloom.

Cocktail

(Modern Shrub) A very bright rose with clusters of single flowers on an upright plant. The colour is yellow and red, the red intensifying with age.

Clementina Carbonieri

(Tea) An interesting combination of rich colours. Yellow, orange, pink and salmon, sounds vulgar but is actually a very lovely rose with good foliage for a Tea.

Archiduc Joseph

(Tea) A mixture of pinks with purple and orange with a paler centre. An unusual rose. Very vigorous.

York and Lancaster

(Damask) Unique to us in the UK. 'Rosa damascena versicolor'. Perfumed, blush white flowers, striped or mottled with pink. Needs very good soil to do well. More a collector's piece than of real garden merit. Of unknown origin, pre 1551.

Village Maid

(Centifolia) 'Variegata', 'Belles des Jardins', 'La RubanÃ��Ã�©e'. A free flowering, unique rose of white striped lilac. Vigorous and thorny.

Grandmere Jenny

(H.T.) Peach and goldenyellow, flushed pink. Free flowering and healthy. A shapely rose. Well worth growing.

Blush Damask

(Damask) A sweet little rose of pale pink with deeper centres. Highly scented. Tolerant of most soils. Probably a very old variety.
