Roses for full sun
Roses comprise a mix of erect shrubs, climbers and scramblers, typically armed with sharp thorns used for hanging onto other vegetation as they grow over it, which makes them intruder proof. Widely known for their beauty and fragrance, most bear an abundance of large, showy flowers above pinnate leaves with serrated margins. Virtually all roses prefer a bright spot with plenty of direct sunlight – at least 6 to 8 hours per day. When positioned in full sun, roses produce more blooms and grow more healthy than in the shade. There is a rose for every purpose in a wide range of colours, from low rambling roses to high hedges and small miniatures to wall or arbour-covering giants. Flowering from late May well into winter, they can be grown in borders, beds or patio containers for a magnificent summer display. They also make a wonderful gift for a special occasion, with the names of some varieties making them well-suited to particular occasions. We offer a wide range of roses spanning climbing roses, English roses, floribundas, ground cover varieties, hybrid teas, miniatures, patio specimens, polyantha roses, ramblers, David Austin and standard roses.
