Rosa 'Alba Semi Plena'
A beautifully refined, elegant and luxuriant shrub. Clusters of large, flat, almost single, milk-white flowers with golden stamens. Very fragrant.
Rosa 'Ballerina'
This beautiful rose bears small, single flowers of soft blossom pink, with white centres and prominent golden stamens. They are produced throughout the summer and are held in close, many-flowered trusses, reminiscent of hydrangea heads. It forms a vigorous shrub with a rounded habit and attractive light green foliage.
Rosa 'Hyde Hall'® (Ausbosky)
A very large shrub, producing mid pink, rosette blooms in both small and large sprays. The individual blooms have a simple beauty but are particularly impressive when viewed en masse. The foliage is fine and pointed, similar to that of a Wild Rose. It is very tough, reliable and healthy. Named after the Royal Horticultural Society’s Essex estate, which includes many English Roses.
Rosa 'Susan Williams-Ellis'® (Ausquirk)
A delightful, unassuming rose of typical Old Rose beauty. It is a pure white sport of the pink English Rose, ‘The Mayflower’. The remarkable thing about these two roses is that, in so far as we are aware, they are completely free from disease. The medium-strong fragrance is perfectly Old Rose in character. It is extremely winter hardy, with upright, bushy, twiggy growth. Named for the founder of Portmeirion Pottery, who was a great enthusiast of the English Roses.
Rosa 'Wildeve'® (Ausbonny)
Distinctly quartered, rosette blooms are produced on long arching branches. They are soft blush with a pretty apricot hue, the outer petals paling to almost white. It forms a bushy, mounding shrub. Named after the character in Thomas Hardy’s The Return of the Native.
Rosa 'The Mayflower'® (Austilly)
A very healthy variety, bearing mid pink, medium-sized, Old Rose style blooms. They are held well above the dainty foliage and have a medium-strong Old Rose scent. It forms a tough and hardy shrub with upright, bushy, twiggy growth. Named after the Pilgrims’ ship, to mark the launch of our first US catalogue.
Rosa 'Ispahan'
Exquisite half-open blooms of lovely mid pink, open to form loosely reflexed flowers. It is always one of the first of the Summer Flowering Old Roses to bloom and has a strong and particularly fine Old Rose fragrance.
