single red rose....
Hello,
I don't know much about roses in general, but I'm thinking of planting one or two. My garden isn't that huge, so I'm probably looking for something thats relatively tall ( 6ft, 15ft) but doesn't take up too much space, it doesn't need to be too neat and tidy, but at the same time something like a moyesii would be too wild.....I prefer single flowers and I'm not too fussed about scent...I quite like things like 'dortmund', 'parkdirektor riggers', 'altissisimo', but am aware that they are climbers.....can they be grown as free standing shrubs?.....can anyone recommend any of these in particular or anything else? My soil is clay, I live in the midlands in the UK, so it needs to be reasonably hardy, and would probably be in fullish sun. |

More pink than red but have you seen Rosa complicata? in flower at the moment and a real stunner, great scent as well. www.roselandhouse.co.uk/roses/rcomplicata.htm just been out and added the bigger picture behind the close up :~) -- Charlie, gardening in Cornwall. http://www.roselandhouse.co.uk Holders of National Plant Collections of Clematis viticella (cvs) and Lapageria rosea |

Is there a specialist rose grower near you? If so pay them a visit and have a look at what's in flower now, also ask their advice. I go to Fryers, which is just North of Knutsford, Cheshire. As regards your soil, roses prefer clay as they are happiest with good anchorage. |
