The mass display is on the way! Why not plan a visit for later in the month?
The spell of warm weather late in September saw wonderful growth of colourful foliage and mass growth of rose buds. There are a few whole beds breaking into flower but mostly small spots of colour are appearing all around.
R. gigantea (Species China 1889) can be found in the Heritage Border.
Edith Holden (AT3 ) is a standout, vibrant orange.
Royal Dane (E18 HT) is covered in flowers now.
The dark, glossy foliage of Royal Dane frames the blooms beautifully
