SPECIAL ROSE WEEKEND
Friday 13th, Saturday 14th and Sunday 15th June

The gardens are spectacular through spring, summer and autumn but it is in June that the fragrant, colour themed plantings of roses are at their best. A representative from Peter Beales Roses, winners of 16 Chelsea Gold Medals, will be leading walks around the gardens on Friday, Saturday and Sunday giving advice on the growing and care of roses.

Throughout the gardens impressive displays of colour themed roses are interplanted with cream foxgloves, lilies, lavenders and other complementary plants. Pathways are lined with low growing roses mixed with Perovskia and Agapanthus and the mid-Victorian greenhouse is adorned with graceful climbers, as is the front of the Manor.

The Rose Garden, designed and planted in 1990, is an area within the Walled Garden of formally planted roses bordered with box hedges and espaliered pear trees, which are underplanted with Roses to create the Rose Walk.

There will be over 85 different varieties of roses on display including the unique Pashley Rose, a pale milk chocolate coloured rose, propagated by Peter Beales Roses, which will be on sale. There will also be the opportunity to purchase or order a selection of Peter Beales Roses.

The Gift Shop, well-known for its high quality and diverse range of goods, will be stocked with rose-themed items.
