THIS year we have 26 new rose varieties, created by the best international and Australian rose breeders and just introduced to our market.
We already mentioned the three new David Austin roses, and we now want to share with you some of the other varieties we’ve just added to our catalogue – beautiful new colours for your garden, to order now for delivery in winter time.
MANGO TANGO
This is a healthy and compact bush, growing up to 120cm high and with an abundance of flowers in an apricot-orange with a yellow centre.
Mango Tango is versatile and makes an exceptional low hedge rose, also suitable for pots and semi shaded areas.
FAIRY GODMOTHER
This beautiful rose has gorgeous double blooms repeatedly throughout the Summer, in a timeless pink-lilac colour.
The bush is compact and very healthy – 100cm high and 70cm wide – with varnished green foliage; it will be eye catching in any garden space.
SINGAPORE FAR EAST MOON
Its blooms are soft yellow with a hint of apricot, aging to buff: a lovely Australian bred rose, growing up to 85cm high, and named in honour of the nurses killed following the fall of Singapore in 1942.
This rose is to commemorate the victims of the War in the Far East on the 80th anniversary – the servicemen and women, POW’s and civilians.
NEW PAPA MEILLAND
What better way to honour the original and popular Papa Meilland than this stunning new rose from the Meilland® family.
New Papa Meilland has classic deep velvet red perfectly formed blooms, each with a strong fragrance that begs to be sniffed.
The bush grows up to 150cm high, is hardy and healthy and produces flowers continuously throughout the season.
SPIRIT OF COMMUNITY
A beautiful Hybrid Tea variety that holds its formal blooms erect, displaying a compact rose bush growing up to 100cm high.
This rose with its many shades and hues from white to pink, along with mauve overtones, celebrates and expresses the communities’ diversity.
Introduced for the City of Wanneroo to reflect the spirit of the local community and the broader Australian ethos, its tight formal blooms are a reflection of the tight knit community of Wanneroo.
MANUEL CANOVAS
An excellent shrub rose of character and a great energy! Its visible vitality is displayed with many well drawn stems, exhibiting beautiful flowers and shown off by the vigorous and robust foliage framing the roses. The white flowers, highlighted by a yellow shade, bloom profusely throughout the year.
A lovely and not overpowering fragrance finishes this rose off and makes it a must have for your garden.
Named after the Interior Designer, Manuel Canovas, it grows up to 150cm high.
