Insights
This rose is a tribute to the mid-19th century garden designer who famously worked alongside the architect Edwin Lutyens. Jekyll was the first to incorporate roses into mixed borders and whose painterly use of colour and texture enlivened the herbaceous schemes of generations of gardeners and popularised the cottage garden. Recipient of the RHS AGM (Award of Garden Merit), for all round excellence in the garden
