ROSE |
The rose is a highly valued and
popular plant because of its beauty and perfume. In the middle ages, plants had
to have a practical purpose, such as medicinal use, to justify their
cultivation. The rose however, was an exception and was grown purely for its
beauty. Roses are vigorous growers so will need pruning in winter after
flowering.
Our roses are grown as shrubs and/or standards and are all grown on fortuniana
rose stock. |
