The Mary Rose Garden at Waterperry Gardens, Wheatley, Oxfordshire


The first area shows off a range of species, shrub and old-fashioned roses, such as 'Souvenir de la Malmaison', and 'Madame E. Calvat'. Mainly flowering only once a year, these wonderfully scented plants are at their best throughout June. The second area contains more modern, recurrent flowering cultivars; hybrid teas, floribundas, climbers and ground cover roses. The latter may vary in size, 'Pheasant' covers a large area, whilst 'Surrey' is a much smaller, free-flowering pink rose. The roses are grown both by themselves and as companions to other plants like irises, which provide early interest before the roses are in full bloom.
