Favourite roses for shade, bees, fragrance & amazing flowers
Sometimes it can be hard choose when there is such an abundance of rose varieties. See David Austin's top picks for everything from shady spots to shrub roses for pollinators. Each rose variety is unique and we love them each for their own unique characteristics.
