Roses are bursting with beauty and meaning, the rose is the world's favourite flower and with such a wide array of colours, varieties and fragrances, it is easy to understand the universal appeal.
The rose has been used throughout history as a symbol of love and war and today there is thought to be over 150 different species being grown across the globe.
The War of the Roses in 1455-1487 saw the House of Lancaster represented by a red rose and the House of York represented by a white rose. When Henry VII won the war he merged the red and the white together and created the Tudor Rose, the rose of England.
The era of the modern rose was established in 1867 with the introduction of the first hybrid by Jean-Baptiste Guillot. All roses before this are now known as Old Garden Roses whilst any after that date are called Modern Garden Roses.

Incredible value, our patio half-standard rose collection will give you beautifully fragrant, premium quality, elegant blooms to enjoy all summer long. This Patio Rose collection is superb value for money, and will produce summer-long displays of beautifully fragrant blooms for years to come. Also known as Tree Roses, they are the perfect way to add height and elegance to your patio - where a single bush will make a dramatic fragrant feature - or as a pair of potted specimens to dress a door or gateway. By 'top grafting' the flowering variety onto the straight stem of the rootstock, thereby giving the height, it takes expert growers a full three years to produce these gems. Rose 'Yellow' produces large, yellow flowers and blooms continuously from early summer to autumn. Rose 'Pink' beautifully demonstrates how the perfect rose should look. Its single, perfect buds are held over glossy green leaves from May to October. Rose 'Red' is a classic red rose with deeply coloured, velvet-like petals through summer and into autumn, which look picture-perfect when spotted with early morning dew. Rose 'White' brings simple, elegant beauty to your garden. Its ice-white petals look particularly striking against its dark green foliage and blooms repeatedly from May to October. This unique Half Standard Rose Collection features 4 roses. Approx 70cm tall, root to tip. NB Colours may vary depending on availability
