Introducing Rose of the Year 2027, ART DECO
Floribunda rose, semi-double, pollinator-friendly lightly scented flowers in plentiful clusters. With sunlight intensity, the edges of the white petals blush in deepening shades of pink. Bushy dark green, glossy foliage with excellent disease resistance. 🌱
It’s Coral Gardens Rose of the Year 2026 for #RoseWednesday
It won’t be long before we announce Rose of the Year 2027, time flies does it.
Have a good day everyone, take care. 🌱
Here’s the very lovely and fragrant ‘Princess Charlene de Monaco’, bred by #Meilland
Ruffled petals blend from soft apricot to shell pink. Healthy, dark green foliage.
The sun is shining, the sky is blue and it’s #FlowersonFriday
Have a splendid weekend everyone, take care. 🌱
Peach Melba, climber (2 pics) and It’s A Wonderful Life, floribunda.
Doing their best to shine despite repeated rain showers and blustery winds. Confirming how worthy they are of their previous Rose of the Year awards.
Have a good week everyone, take care. 🌱
Showtime for Rose of the Year 2027 Art Deco! It’s her horti trade debut on the Whartons’ stand at the HTA National Plant Show. She’s won a show gold award too!
Then she’s making her first public appearance at Gardeners World Live on the ‘Hot off the Potting Bench’ display in the Floral Marquee. 🌱
‘Ballerina’ #rose and friends. Strong blustery winds from the ‘west, south west’ (my personal weather hate) not to mention sudden showers have put paid to any gardening plans for this afternoon.
Hope your weather is more favourable, have a good day. 🌱
The 1st day of #meteorological #summer The heatwave has passed & rain is forecast. It will be good to fill the water butts, but here, the roses laden with bloom, will be soggy & bowed down in no time. 🫤 Have a good week everyone, take care.
‘Honey, Bee Mine’. 🌱

Visited @RHSWisley for the 1st 2026 #persicarosetrials review, many flowering freely & looking good. Persica #rose Eye of the Storm. Whilst there overheard teacher to little girl in a school party: ‘put the snail down, you can’t take it with you.’ A ‘Joyce Grenfell’ moment! 🌱
Woe is me or rather woe are the roses. Heavy rain has taken its toll. Bushes were top-heavy with rapid growth & flowering during the recent warm weather. Don’t get me started on soggy petals on gravel! On the plus side I picked these peonies yesterday. Hope your roses have fared better. 🌱
