Roses of Special Merit

 Roses for Tubs, Troughs, Hanging Baskets and Window Boxes


Recommended Roses

Roses of Special Merit Roses can be found in a host of colours to suit tubs, troughs and urns. The colours range from the palest pink of 'Little Bo Peep' (a dainty shrublet with perfect little blooms), to the golden yellow 'Gwent' and the sugar pink of 'Pretty Polly'; the creamy-apricot 'Sweet Dream' and finally, the bright red and cream of 'Boys' Brigade'.

The British Rose Industry selected both 'Sweet Dream' and 'Magic Carpet' as Rose of the Year, in their first season of introduction. The innovative and relatively new use of roses for hanging baskets is becoming more popular. The County Series Roses are ideal for this purpose, particularly the blush pink 'Avon' and also lavender 'Magic Carpet' and pale pink 'Queen Mother'.
