St Bridget's Rose of the Year

Each year we ask visitors of our rose field to vote for their favourite rose. It is clear from the results that what is beautiful to one person is not to another as we had numerous different varieties. Whether it is name, fragrance, colour or foliage everyone has their favourite!

 

However, despite so many different votes there was one rose that received more votes than any other and that is our Rose of the Year...the Hybrid Tea rose Twice in a Blue Moon.

 

This is an improved variety from the previous Blue Moon and has the same gorgeous lilac flowers but improved disease resistance and more vigour.

 

This rose is available from our garden centres or can be pre-ordered as a bare root specimen to collect in the autumn. Our potted price is £9.49 or bare root is £8.49.

 

New Rose Varieties

Visitors of our 2014 rose tours were priviledged to get a sneak peek at our three new rose varieties for 2014/15.

We have what will be Rose of the Year 2015 and as launched at Hampton Court Flower Show, "For Your Eyes Only". This is a healthy shiny foliage rose and virtually continuous flowering with a mixture of pink and apricot salmon single open flowers with a dark eye. This is a floribunda rose so will produce large clusters of flowers and ideal for bedding.

In addition we have another floribunda rose called "Ebb Tide". This is a deep purple opening to smoked plum flowers with a strong spicy fragrance. It has a compact habit.

Finally there is the unusual HT rose "Rock and Roll. Splashed and striped flowers in burgundy, cherry and cream. Fruity perfume. Compact growth.
