Plant of the Week: Rose

The nation’s best-loved flower needs little introduction. There’s nothing to rival a rose for sheer romance: for centuries poets have waxed lyrical about their sweet scent, lovers have declared their passion with them and newly-wed couples have been showered with their petals.

There’s a rose for every garden, from demure little patio roses for containers to robust and vigorous species roses, much-loved by bees and bearing a fine crop of brightly-coloured hips later in autumn. For the classic English rose look more modern varieties also offer disease-resistance, fabulous scent and massive flower power. Pop into the garden centre today and we’ll pick the perfect rose for you.
