Create a Cottage Style Garden with English roses

Quintessentially English and absolutely timeless, the easy grace and charm of a cottage style garden is simple to achieve.

Plant with abundance a combination of English Roses and English Lavender for an easy upkeep cottage style garden. Simplicity in a narrow selection of plants should not be underestimated. This combination will provide colour and fragrance all summer long.

Boscobel® looks delightful in a cottage style garden with its red buds which open to beautifully formed, upward facing, coral-pink rosettes. Small petals of varying shades mingle to provide a most pleasing effect. The myrrh fragrance has delicious hints of hawthorn, elderflower, pear and almond. It forms an upright shrub and will combine well with lavender.

Flank your pathway with an informal rose hedge, creating a tumbling walkway of colour and fragrance.

Featured roses: Gentle Hermione®(Ausrumba) and Kew Gardens® (Ausfence)

Even urban gardens can embrace a cottage garden style by allowing fragrant roses to spill out over pavements with their gentle beauty.

Featured roses: Gertrude Jekyll®
