English roses – a perfect choice for garden decor

Abstract

Out of the multitude of rose varieties that we are enjoying today, English roses stand out not only for the diversity of their shapes but especially for their delicate and highly fragrant flowers. They combine the graceful style of old 19th-century roses with brightly coloured petals and the elegance of modern varieties. Most of them bloom repeatedly and abundantly, being appreciated by those who love the nostalgic timeless look of old-fashioned roses. English roses are very versatile, having been created to be adaptable to a wide range of plant compositions, in which, the abundance of flowers and their intense fragrance have a remarkable impact. This paper analyses the behaviour of several varieties of English roses for their appropriate use in various landscaping arrangements.
