OLD JOHN (Dicwillynilly)                             £5.50
1998
A beautiful vibrant orange-red with an upright habit and light green glossy foliage, perfectly contrasting with the blooms.
Named for friend and fellow rose expert John Mattock, whom we always affectionately refer to as "Old John".  He's very happy with the rose, so you probably will be too!

PURPLE TIGER (Jacpurr)                      £5.50

A crazy whirl of purple and white stripes, this is an aptly named rose.
Flower arrangers love it!  Jazzes up any room!

SAFE HAVEN (Jacreraz)                                  £5.50

Imagine a much improved Lilli Marlene with slightly fuller blooms and a little taller habit……. that describes Safe Haven.  Masses of mid-red double blooms are freely produced.  Growth is strong with height around 80 cm and habit is bushy. 
Foliage is dense, mid-green and glossy.

SUNSEEKER (Dicracer)                          £5.50

Quite a low grower and you may see it listed elsewhere as a patio.

THE ATTENBOROUGH ROSE (Dicelope)                        £5.50
2004
A free-flowering Floribunda, with large delicate pink  blooms tinged with green on the edge of the petals which have a porcelain appearance.  The shapely pointed flowers are produced in clusters of 4 to 17 and  have good lasting quality, ensuring there is always a fine display.  Growth is vigorous, while habit is upright to bushy with some stems giving the plant an arching effect .  A tallish variety with surprisingly few thorns, the blooms are complemented by mid-green glossy foliage. 
The Attenborough Rose was named for Lord Richard (and Lady Sheila) Attenborough by the British Film Institute in honour of his 80th birthday and was launched at Hampton Court in July 2004.

THREE CHEERS (Dicdomino)                                £5.50
2005 
We like this variety not only for its colour - deep cerise pink in the bud stage paling attractively as it develops, with its deep yellow centre turning pale cream in the older flower - but also because it produces blooms so freely that at times the plant is just smothered in them!  The cup-shaped double blooms have good lasting quality.  Height is around 85 cm and habit is rounded, well-balanced and even.  Foliage is dense, glossy and mid-green.

TOGETHER FOREVER (Dicecho)                              £5.95
2006
The buds and young blooms of this floribunda variety are orange with a yellow centre, gradually turning to pale peach / pink.  The double blooms (23 petals) are approx. 10 cm diameter, cup shaped, and borne in clusters of 5 to 25.
The plant's height is average, around 95 cm, and it has an upright to bushy habit.
Foliage is dense, light to mid-green in colour and semi-glossy.
This rose has been named by Mrs. Christine Royle of Leigh in Lancashire in memory of her late parents who enjoyed a long and happy marriage and also to celebrate her own marriage.
Her mother died in August '04, the same month in which Mrs. Royle was married and she felt the timing was perfect to name a rose.
We feel she has made an excellent choice in the name!

TREASURED MEMORIES (Dicdanger)                          £10.00
2005 
The rose is dark red with a bushy to spreading habit (height is approximately 70 cm and spread approximately 80 cm).  It produces masses of small semi-double blooms which are enhanced by dense, small, glossy foliage.

By buying a Treasured Memories rose you will have not only a living tribute to someone very special, but you will also be helping to support the valuable work of the Northern Ireland Chest Heart & Stroke Association, as £5 from each rose sold will be donated to the charity.

VALENTINE HEART (Dicogle)                          £5.50
1990
Here's one for the romantics!
Pale pink with a hint of lilac, the petals have a serrated edge and the blooms even look vaguely heart-shaped!
Lovely perfume contributes to the demand for this rose.

VANILLA TWIST (Dicghost)           £6.45
New for 2007!
Very full, rosette type blooms which have a prominent pinkish red flush on the outside petals of the bud, finishing to pure white. The duration of the flowers is long. Foliage is dense, glossy and mid-green. Height is average at around 100 cm and habit is upright to bushy. Disease resistance is very good.

WHITE DIAMOND (Interamon)                        £5.50
1997
A sparkling crystal white, the blooms are full-petalled and remain remarkably clean and fresh whatever the weather conditions.
Bushy and vigorous, the plant is just below average height.

WILD ROVER (Dichirap)        £6.45
New for 2007!
A wonderful colour of deep purple in the bud, opening to a lighter shade and fading to mauve in the old flowers. The blooms are semi-double having fourteen petals, and have a good scent. Foliage is dense, semi-glossy and light to mid-green. While we have classified this as a Floribunda - probably Flori-Shrub is a better description - this is a tall plant with climbing tendencies and could well be grown against a wall or fence, but don't expect it to achieve a great height, probably a maximum of just under two metres.

WISHING (Dickerfuffle)                     £5.50
1985
A low growing peachy-pink with Hybrid Tea shaped blooms. 
Can be grown in beds, borders or tubs.
Just remember, if it's in a tub, keep it watered!
