Roses

June is the time for roses and the rose garden will now require weekly dead heading sessions to keep the magnificent display fresh. Mick, Ali and Lucy set about the task this week and spent a day dead heading the many hundred faded blooms.
The majority of the roses are shrub and old garden roses such as Rosa 'Tuscany Superb', Rosa 'William Lobb' and Rosa 'Ferdinand Pichard', all chosen for the wonderful scent and aroma.
