This was planted against a wall and has a lovely variety of colours in the flowers, from pale cream to vibrant sunny yellow.

This was one of only a few variegated colours I saw so it stood out amongst the others.

This has a fantastic fruity fragrance and the new foliage is a deep burgundy.
4. James Galway 'Auscrystal' (English Leander Hybrid) David Austin page
A climbing rose that can be trained along a wall or over an arch. The flowers are perfect.

The colour of the flower is what attracted me. It is an unusual dusky pink with hints of gold.

My favourite is the side of the flower when it is half open; layered and with pointed petals.

Oh my goodness, what a fantastic blog-post. I saw some stunning roses in Bradford on Avon yesterday. I had forgotten it was such a pretty little town!
ReplyDeleteIt was such a great afternoon out with the roses! We had that lovely holiday in Bradford-on-Avon and it was very pretty. Such brilliant architecture and a nice walk along a canal with a pub at the end I seem to remember. Who could ask for more?
