The Hybrid Perpetual Roses

First appearing around 1835, hundreds of fragrant and recurrent flowering Hybrid Perpetual roses were bred during the Victorian and Edwardian times. Developed from a Portland X China hybrid crossed with hybrid Chinas and Bourbons, Hybrid Perpetuals have fragrant flowers in reds, mauves, whites and pinks. Still retaining the qualities of the old roses, Hybrid Perpetual roses tend to be courser with long shoots which respond well to pegging down. (zone 5, some slightly hardier)

Roses are available while quantities last. Varieties marked as 'sold out' may be available again next year. Remember to order early. More varieties will be available by summer.
