A: All roses will take a few seas** to reach their mature shape and size. Large-flowered varieties in particular tend to get better and better over their first two or three years as the stems become thicker, providing greater support for their heavy blooms. Prune them back in winter by no more than a half, as this is important in enabling the stems to thicken. Feed twice each year with a slow-release, organically-based fertilizer.
Hybrid tea roses were traditionally bred to have upward-facing blooms. While there is, without doubt, a place for hybrid tea roses, David Austin’s aim in breeding has always been to increase the diversity in roses and to preserve the charming characteristics found in the old garden roses.
As a result, some of our favourite and most popular varieties have large, deeply-cupped blooms. These nod gracefully on their stems to face us, with a natural poise we so admire. In the garden they perform a similar role to peonies, but have a much longer flowering season. These include the magnificent shrub roses Golden Celebration, Abraham Darby and Alan Titchmarsh.
In contrast, Princess Alexandra of Kent is a more compact variety as a young plant, with short, sturdy stems, so its huge, deeply-cupped blooms tend to nod only slightly. Other roses with slightly nodding blooms include Brother Cadfael, Benjamin Britten, Crocus Rose, Gertrude Jekyll, Graham Thomas, Mortimer Sackler, Scepter'd Isle, Buttercup, and Scarborough Fair.
If you prefer upward-facing blooms, try Charlotte, Darcey Bussell, L D Braithwaite, Molineux, Port Sunlight, Queen Of Sweden or Sophy’s Rose. However we do encourage gardeners to try some of the roses with nodding blooms as the effect on the mature shrub can be really delightful. |
