English Shrub <strong>Roses</strong> - Red and Crimson<br />
Benjamin Britten ❀<br />
This variety has an unusual colouring for an English Rose.<br />
The open, cupped rosettes are a beautiful soft scarlet,<br />
eventually changing to a strong shade of pink. There is an<br />
intensely fruity fragrance with aspects of wine and pear<br />
drops. It can be grown as either a shrub, which will benefit<br />
from summer pruning, or as a climber.<br />

Darcey Bussell ❀<br />
One of the best and healthiest of the red roses we have<br />
bred to date. The flowers are produced freely and with<br />
excellent continuity. When young, their outer petals<br />
form a perfect ring, later developing into a beautiful<br />
rosette. The colour is a deep, rich crimson later<br />
developing a tinge of mauve. It has a pleasing, fruity<br />
fragrance.<br />
