Old Fashion and Heritage Roses
PAGE 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 ALL aka AKA Parsons Pink China China. This important heritage rose has been cultivated in China for centuries and was introduced to Europe around 1750. It has been used extensively as a 'parent' breeding rose. Small semi-double blooms of pink that fade as they age. Nicely fragrant with light green foliage and few thorns.
Old Blush We are not expecting to have this plant in the foreseeable future Gallica. Large fragrant flowers that are fully double appear throughout summer and are set against grey-green foliage. The blooms are a rich purple-crimson tone with fiery red centres. Strong upright habit and a good tolerance of poorer soils. Suitable for a robust hedge. From England around 1848. Orpheline De Juillet We are not expecting to have this plant in the foreseeable future Rugosa. This beautiful rose has a rich fragrance which is considered to be one of the best in the rose world. Large, double, bright red flowers which darken towards purple in the hot sun. Dark green bushy foliage and an upright habit. Originating from France in 1901.
Parfum De l Hay We are not expecting to have this plant in the foreseeable future Rugosa. The pretty pink blooms on this robust Rugosa rose have serrated frilly edges a bit like a Dianthus. Leathery dark green foliage and an upright habit. Free flowering from summer through to autumn. From the Netherlands - 1923. Something a bit different to ooh and aah over. Deciduous
Pink Grootendorst We are not expecting to have this plant in the foreseeable future Damask. An ancient Rose that has an uncertain history but could possibly be from Iran. The dark pink-purple rosette shaped blooms are borne on slender stems in summer and have a strong fragrance. Responds well to hard pruning. To quote the Rosarian Peter Beales "well worth a place in any garden". Rose de Rescht We are not expecting to have this plant in the foreseeable future aka Gallica Gallica. AKA Gallica An ancient rose (12th -17th Century) that is the stuff of myth and legend. It is hardy with few thorns and matt green foliage. The semi-double blooms are a very striking combination of crimson, pink and are pleasantly scented. Summer flowering. Deciduous Rosa Mundi We are not expecting to have this plant in the foreseeable future aka Scabrosa Rugosa. The name 'Scabrosa' refers to the roughness of the handsome foliage which is clear green with interesting veining. The summer blooms are bright cerise pink offset with golden stamens and are followed by big fat red hips. Nice sweet fragrance. Robust and vigorous. 1950.
Scabrosa Not available Rugosa. This highly fragrant rose has loose, semi-double, silky pink flowers produced in repeated flushes from spring to late summer. The blooms have a cluster of golden stamens in the centre. Dense dark green foliage and thorny, upright growth habit. 1926.
Sarah van Fleet We are not expecting to have this plant in the foreseeable future Rugosa. A pretty little rose with creamy-white button blooms that has petals with a serrated edge. The blooms appear continuously throughout the season and have a delightful fragrance. Quite strong and robust, can cope with a little shade and is generally healthy and disease resistant. 1962.
White Grootendorst We are not expecting to have this plant in the foreseeable future Gallica. The reputation and popularity of this lovely old fashioned rose are well deserved. The globular dark red buds open to rich purple sweetly scented flowers of a velvety texture. Mainly summer flowering. Abundant dark green foliage and very few thorns. 1840. Deciduous
