Our Top Varieties

We have hand-picked our top varieties for this year: our favourites and our best performers.

Dublin Bay

An utterly divine climbing rose with bright red floribunda blooms and a long-lasting bloom period that goes from mid-spring to late autumn, Dublin Bay is a must-have for anyone starting their rose journey.

Blue Moon

Beautiful lilac-mauve blooms nestled amongst green foliage, Blue Moon is possibly the best blue rose available. This delightful rose is highly fragrant and a repeat bloomer.

Blackberry Nip

Named after the liqueur and bred in New Zealand, the Blackberry Nip has gorgeous deep purple, seductively scented blooms, with gorgeous, healthy, and disease-resistant foliage.

One of the more flamboyant of roses, Friesia has bright yellow, non-fading petals and a surprisingly strong fragrance, and grow to a medium height.

Loving Memory

A perfectly formed, deep red rose that cluster around healthy, disease resistant foliage and produce a light perfume.
