St Bridget's Rose(s) of the Year

After a fantastic turnout to our rose field tours last Friday and Saturday, we asked visitors to vote for their favourite rose. We have never received such a spectrum of results. 46 varieties received at least one vote each! Infact, there wasn't a clear winner but a tie between Leonardo de Vinci (shown) and Sexy Rexy. Congratulations to Ms Walton from Bovey Tracey who won her favourite rose ' Lady Penelope' in our prize draw.
