Most are fragrant English roses, but the one that stands out is a modest Floribunda - Rosa 'Irish Eyes'. I bought it at Hampton Court flower show because of the orange colour (all roses in this part of the garden, which I didn't map yet ... are orange, apricot or white), but it turned out much more interesting.
It starts a beautiful orange ....
Turns into a deep orange red ....
And then turns pale yellow before it needs to be dead-headed ....
And the best part is it flowers continuously between July and the first frost. Any downsides you ask, well there is always one, it has no scent. But the wonderful flowers certainly make up for it.
