Our New Rose Patch!

It’s no wonder that roses are the most popular wedding flower – after all they have long been considered a symbol of passion, love and beauty. More than 3000 varieties of rose are grown commercially and we have chosen 21 to plant here at Blakemere. We’ve chosen a mixture of hybrids and old fashioned garden roses so we’re sure there will be something to delight both in looks and scent. All we need to do now is get them to grow and bloom… Watch this space... We’ve planted over 200 roses and here are the varieties in the ground at the moment:

Friendship Rose	Friend for Life Rose	Love Struck Rose
William Lobb Rose	Elaine Paige Rose	Trioka Rose
Wedding Bell Rose	Isabella Rose	Mum in a Million Rose
Sandra Rose	Royal Airforce Rose	Ivory Romantica Rose
National Trust Rose	Silver Wedding Rose	Silver Anniversary Rose
Braveheart Rose	Golden Beauty Rose	Fragrant Cloud Rose
Boule de Neige Rose	Cardinal de Richeleu Rose	Cornelia Rose
