DICKSON NURSERIES LTD NEW ROSES FROM THE WORLD'S OLDEST ROSE BREEDING COMPANY!

2009 - NEW INTRODUCTIONS

PRECIOUS MEMORIES (Dichello) Floribunda                           Price minimum £7.50

A very pretty peach / pink floribunda producing abundant cup—shaped blooms, 9 cm in diameter, in trusses of 5 - 25.

A full petalled variety, the peach buds open to a soft, mid pink showing their lemon centre and yellow stamens.  The vigorous plant is quite low-growing at around 80 cm with a bushy habit, the spread being similar to height. 

\Foliage is dense, glossy and light to mid green in colour.  There is a beautiful contrast between the colour of the blooms and foliage. Fragrance is slight, but the rose has good disease resistance. 

Precious Memories won a 2nd Class Certificate at The Hague International Rose Trials in 2006.

 

This rose was named by Carol Thomson in loving memory of her daughter Holly.  She set up the Holly Tree Foundation in her honour.  For more details please visit www.thehollytree.co.uk and for donations www.justgiving.com/hollyspage.

Alternatively, anything you pay for this rose over £7.50, Dickson Nurseries will forward it to the Foundation.

ALEXANDER’S ISSIE (Dicland) Floribunda                                  Price £7.50

 

Rose named by fashion designer Alexander McQueen in memory of a good friend.

Blooms are borne in clusters of 1 – 8, reddish pink in colour, perfectly complimented by the large, dark green, semi glossy foliage.  Flowers are full with semi-frilly petals and measure 8.5 cm.  Plant habit is upright to bushy with a height of 80 x 61 cm.  Disease resistance is excellent.

 

Stock is very limited this year as we are growing this variety exclusively until it’s launched at Hampton Court in July 2010.

REBECCA MARY (Dicjury) Floribunda                                          Price £7.50

 

Another rose available from us a year before anybody else, with the exception of C & K Jones who launch it at Hampton Court in July.

 

The rose was named by Dr. Nick Harris to celebrate his wife Becky’s 40th birthday.

Beautiful peach-gold blooms of 8 cm in diameter and having approx. 50 petals, borne in clusters of 4-21. A very prolific flowerer, very healthy and vigorous with a height of no more than 90 cm and a spread of 84 cm.

Lovely light to mid green glossy foliage compliment the blooms perfectly and the sweet to spicy light fragrance add to the charm of this, one of the most highly rated floribundas in years.
