After much deliberation and research I think I have narrowed down the roses I would like for my rose garden. It was not easy as there are so many gorgeous roses to choose from. The ground is no longer frozen and the crocuses and snowdrops are starting to peek through so I think it is time to get started. I have chosen to go with
David Austen roses. They are famous throughout England and have a reputation for being easy to grow, hardy, healthy, reliable and importantly, beautiful. Being grown in England they are also prepared for the climate. Our garden is a bit of a mish mash with different colours everywhere so I am not being precious about choosing shades of one colour scheme, rather I have chosen a mix of colours to brighten the green in the summer. also, each of these roses has a fragrance, which is important as I would love the garden to smell lovely while sitting in the garden on a summer evening with a chilled glass of wine in hand. What do you think of these?
