When it comes to creating an interesting garden, the way you arrange your plants can make all the difference. English roses are a perfect example of this with their beautiful blooms and fragrance. For truly captivating displays, consider planting them in clusters of three or five, especially if you select the same variety.

The fragrant apricot bloomed Dannahue^® (Ausa6b15), is the latest English rose variety now available for gardeners in the US. As featured in The New York Times, Dannahue^® (Ausa6b15) takes its name from the birth name of British TV Gardening personality Danny Clarke, also known as the Black Gardener (@theblackgardener). 

By following these simple steps, you will ensure your bare root climbing rose gets off to the best possible start.

The best time to plant bare root roses is during their dormant period, typically between late autumn and early spring. Planting during this time allows the roots to establish before the growing season begins.

The Darcey Bussell Rose, named in honour of the celebrated ballerina, adds elegance and charm to any garden. With its deep crimson-pink blooms that gradually soften to a hint of mauve as the petals fall, this rose is a captivating addition to your outdoor space. It also carries a light to medium fruity fragrance, making it a true delight for the senses. Here, we explore three ways to incorporate this graceful rose into your garden.

With its exquisite deep pink, many-petalled rosette blooms and delightful, fruity fragrance, Gabriel Oak is a captivating English Shrub Rose that infuses any garden with timeless elegance. The vibrant, deep pink flowers contrast beautifully with their lush green foliage, creating a striking visual display that commands attention. Gabriel Oak stands at 4 feet (125 cm) tall, making it a versatile addition to formal garden settings and more natural landscapes.

Planting a climbing or rambling rose in a pot is one of the most effective ways to introduce height, fragrance and structure to smaller gardens, courtyards and terraces. Whether used to frame a doorway, create a flowering screen along a wall or soften the lines of an obelisk, these roses offer a remarkable display when given the right conditions. Though the approach demands a little more upkeep than planting in open ground, the rewards are considerable: abundant blooms, repeat flowering, and a sense of movement and beauty that elevates even the most compact of spaces.
