Roses are invaluable in a mixed border; I love using them in every garden I create. Roses bring height, form, structure, and, most importantly,they bring romance and magic. The sheer beauty and presence of their blooms is so striking that their charm stays in the memory long after their blooms have faded and gone.

There’s something truly special about a living wall, an ever-changing display of colour, scent, and texture. If you’ve ever dreamed of covering a wall, fence, or even a bare corner with a cascade of blooms, English Roses are the perfect choice. With their soft, romantic beauty and repeat-flowering nature, they will transform any vertical space into a floral haven.

Some things stay with you - the scent of a rose in the evening air, the feel of a book well-read, the quiet wisdom passed down from one pair of hands to another. Gertrude Jekyll and Vanessa Bell understood this. They knew that gardens, like stories, are not just about beauty; they are about memory, feeling, and the simple joy of making something your own.

There’s something truly enchanting about a garden bathed in soft, silvery light. As dusk falls, the moonlight gently highlights the beauty of white flowers, casting an almost ethereal glow. This is the allure of a moon garden - a space where you can escape, unwind, and find solace in the simplicity of nature.

There is an elegance in simplicity, an honesty in working with nature rather than against it. Planting bare root roses is a return to this way of gardening, a method that has stood the test of time. Before plastic pots, before garden centres lined their shelves with ready-made plants, this was how roses were grown: lifted from the field in winter, their roots exposed to the air, then carefully wrapped and sent to gardeners who knew the best things take time.

Evelyn^® is a rose that invites admiration at every turn. With soft apricot-pink petals arranged in large, full blooms and a heady, fruit-laden fragrance, she’s more than an English rose, she’s a garden companion with a story to tell. Named after Crabtree & Evelyn, the Massachusetts-based brand invoking the romance of the English countryside, Evelyn^® captures the essence of timeless beauty and grace.
