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

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)       £6.50

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.

MAID OF HONOUR (Jacwhink)            £7.50

NEW FOR 2010

 

It may only have five petals, but what a performer this rose is!  The bushes are literally smothered in dainty, delicate pale pink flowers, with tiny mid green glossy foliage.  Habit is manageable, so you may wish to classify “Maid of Honour” as a Shrublet.  It makes a superb container grown rose and also is fantastic as a half standard.   Its disease and weather resistance is truly terrific.  Also awarded a Trials Ground Certificate from the RNRS in 2009.
