Tip of the Week

Not everyone´s "cup of tea," but I find bicolour roses to be showstoppers that I would not be without.
Piccadilly: Bright scarlet suffused with orange and gold. Always the first rose to bloom with me. Blackspot can be a problem and there is little perfume. 2.5ft tall. Introduced 1959.

Champion: Primrose yelow flushed pink. The blooms are enormous, well shaped and strongly perfumed. A rose of the 1980´s that is now becoming prone to blackspot. 2.5ft tall.
