Roses revealed

‘Coral Lions-Rose’
This Floribunda rose (above) produces clusters of double blooms that range from salmon to pink, with a light fruity fragrance. It’s a very healthy rose from German breeder Kordes’ Fantasia Collection, with excellent disease resistance. It was successful at the 2023 National Rose Trials, picking up a Bronze Medal, and it grows as a nice upright bush reaching up to 1.2m high.

‘The Ancient Mariner’
David Austin has delivered another swoon-worthy new rose! The mid-pink flowers are packed full of petals and are terribly romantic. Each flower is quite large and gives off a strong myrrh perfume. It grows as a dense upright bush, reaching 1.75m, making it perfect for the back of a garden bed. The name is inspired by Coleridge’s poem The Rime of the Ancient Mariner.

‘Endless Love’
This impressive soft pink rose is from French breeder Meilland. To add to its charm, each petal has the thinnest of thin lipstick-pink edge. The blooms release a strong spicy perfume and make great cut flowers. It’s a very healthy bush that produces flowers through all seasons. Growing to 1.5m tall, it was launched to celebrate 60 years of the Australian Breastfeeding Association.
