 Roses for Difficult AreasSee our new section on roses that are suitable for growing in difficult areas. Whether you have a North facing wall or shady spot in your garden, we have a rose for you. We also have roses that can be grown as hedging and dense thorny barriers, which form an attractive yet effective boundary to your property.

|
 | Climbers
Vigorous climbing roses, diverse in growth and colour, some flowering in summer only, others flowering more than once in the same season, flowering in Summer - Autumn. |
|
 | Climbing Patio
For use when one requires a climbing rose minus some of the associated vigour. The more compact growth gives a denser mass of floribunda type blooms. |
|
 | English Roses
Possess the original charm and high fragrance of the traditional shrub roses. They are crossbred to also offer good bloom form and repeat flowering. |
|
 | Floribunda
A cluster-flowered bush. Shrubs that usually bloom more than once in the same season - usually large sprays of flowers in Summer - Autumn. Unrivalled for providing a long-lasting bedding display. |
|
 | Ground Cover
Ideal for difficult areas, banks, places that are difficult to mow, etc. These plants form a colourful ground cover 'mat' between 1ft and 2ft in height with slight scent. |
|
 | Hybrid Tea
The ever popular Hybrid Tea grows as a large-flowered bush. Differs from the floribunda group in that its blooms are larger and less in number. The striking blooms tend to be a classic rose shape. They usually bloom more than once in the same season with large flowers borne in Summer - Autumn. |
|
 | Patio & Miniature
These roses have limited growth and so can be successfully grown in restricted situations, for example, in pots indoors, rockeries, troughs, flower beds close to the house. |
|
 | Ramblers
All strong growing with Floribunda type blooms. Ramblers are more rampant and pliable in growth than climbing roses. |
|
 | Shrub Roses
This is a diverse group of roses. Most bloom more than once in the same season and are larger than bush roses, with flowers borne singly or in sprays in Summer and/or Autumn. |
|
 | Standards
Gives that extra depth and third dimension. Stem 1m (3' 3") tall. |
|
 | Half Standards
