Late Autumn is often a time of year when many gardeners think about what type of garden they’d like to develop, and which plants they’d like to see in their garden come Springtime. So, it begs the question, why grow roses? In short, cut flowers, colour and fragrance – these are three excellent reasons to grow roses! Cut Flowers There’s something pretty special about filling a vase of roses picked from your own garden. Roses come in many types of varieties, with the popular hybrid tea roses providing a profusion of flowering stems, with one bud per stem. Floribundas, David Austin English roses and Delbard roses are also popular for their often-subtle colourings and strong fragrance and offer great options for picking. See our Cut Flowers Collection here. Colour Modern roses offer colour for our gardens virtually continuously for 10 months of the year. A wonderful variation in rose growth patterns gives gardeners the creative ability to select varieties with both different colours at different heights. Choose your Roses by Colour. Fragrance Roses have a fragrance like no other flower – breeders are continuously striving to create a rose that offers as much scent as beauty. Rose fragrances can vary from subtle to strong, and with descriptors such as citrus, lilac, spices, myrrh and fruity they sound delicious! See our Highly Perfumed Collection here. So, jump online and be inspired – there are thousands of roses to choose from!
