Troy will also divulge his favourites with us, but he never finds this easy! We will discuss ways of promoting good rose health and you will be able to see the roses here, that we have found to be best suited to our organic gardening principles. Our collection of roses (close to 400 in number), comprises English and French roses, old and new, shrubs, climbers and ramblers. This will be an informative and a pleasurable day, (stopping for a light summer roses menu lunch) at a time when the roses will be at their best in the garden.​Should you wish to book a place to give to a friend, we can send a personal gift voucher out to them.  Please email us if this is the case.Please note that tickets are non refundable so please make sure that you are bale to attend on the specified date.
