Roses vary greatly in size and growth habit of plant, and in colour and form and fragrance of flower. Our list covers all sizes of plant, all flower forms and colours, and many and varied fragrances, so we trust there is something for everyone. The brief description after each rose refers to flower size, form, colour and fragrance, and approximate size the plant can be expected to reach given ideal growing conditions.
If there is a rose you would like that does not appear on our list, please let us know, and every effort will be made to obtain it.

» LIST
Old Garden Roses (OGRs)
These old-fashioned beauties comprise early species hybrids, gallicas
(g), damasks (d), centifolias {c}, mosses (m) and albas (a), most
of which are once-flowering varieties.
» LIST
Heritage Roses
The remainder of our old-fashioned rose classes, including Portland
(p), Bourbon (b), Hybrid Perpetual (hp), China {c} and Tea (t)
roses, most of which are continuous-flowering, or at least, recurrent.
» LIST
Rugosa Roses
We have separated these wonderful, highly desirable shrubs into a section of their own, as they are both heritage and modern. They are all tough, disease resistant, prickly shrubs with, in most cases, distinct shiny, deeply veined foliage. Many produce a good show of orange red, tomato-shaped hips.
» LIST
Old Shrub Roses
Here we’ve included hybrid musks and a few other shrubs from
that era, some of which are such large sprawling shrubs that they
are often used as climbers.
» LIST
Cluster-flowered Roses (including
Modern Shrubs)
Here you’ll find our floribunda roses, and the newer, less definable shrub
and ‘landscaping’ varieties. They come in all shapes and sizes.
» LIST
David Austin Roses
Well known modern shrub roses with old-fashioned style flowers in many shades
and fragrances. A style of rose, becoming more and more popular with all rose
lovers, but beware! Some of these varieties become very large plants.
» LIST
Hybrid Tea Roses
These large-flowered shrub roses need no introduction, as they are the most popular
of all roses. Developed in the late 19th century, the hybrid tea has since
taken pride of place in the rose world, with thousands of varieties being hybridized.
Our collection covers its complete history, from early 19th century varieties
to the latest offerings from breeders worldwide. Pre-war varieties are becoming
collectors items, and to our minds, should have a place in any heritage rose
garden. The few we offer show the date of introduction. We have many more in
our garden, and can provide further details on request.
» LIST
Climbing and Rambling Roses
This group comprises all climbing rose; old-fashioned, ramblers and noisettes,
as well as modern and large-flowered climbers. Some are once-flowering (#);
most are remontant.
» LIST
To complement our collection, we keep a small selection of miniature roses from time to time.
We have many old and rare varieties in our garden which we find commercially not viable to propagate in quantity, but from which we can provide cuttings, budwood, or organize custom budding. Please contact us for further information.
