Full petalled, high centred, contrasting rose-red with silver reverse.  Good for bedding!  Another Rose Of The Year Winner!

NIGHT SKY (Dicetch)                                      £6.50

2004  

A red sky at night usually bodes well for the next day, and we feel this Night Sky will not disappoint!  Eye-catching, with almost every bloom slightly different from its neighbour, the colour of this Floribunda is self-striped carmine red with an ivory/pale yellow centre, and the single blooms are produced in clusters of 5 to 19.  Despite having only six petals, lasting quality of the flowers is good, and the  moderately fragrant blooms are set-off by large, healthy foliage which is glossy and dark green with a hint of bronze.  Slightly taller than average, the plant has an upright to bushy habit, and is always in flower.

A wonderfully showy and  real attention grabbing rose!

ALEXANDER’S ISSIE (Dicland) Floribunda                       £7.50

NEW FOR 2009!

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.

LIGHT FANTASTIC (Dicgottago)       £7.00

2007  

 

Masses of lemon/cream "old English" type blooms are beautifully contrasted by dense, glossy, mid-green foliage. The blooms are very full, light scented and are abundant throughout the flowering period. The plant is of medium height and has a very bushy habit. Disease resistance is excellent.
