A Gardeners Dream

To kick off 2023, we feature a welcome addition to the apricot coloured roses available.

‘A Gardeners Dream’ produces clusters of ruffled apricot blooms with the added bonus of a scent to enjoy. A low to medium growing plant, it is an easy care variety and looks especially stunning growing in groups.

One of the ‘My Rose’ series bred by Bob Matthews, this rose was named for Wanganui Garden Centre who celebrated 75 years in business in 2022 and who have been a customer of Matthews Nurseries over this time.

Available from resellers of Matthews Nurseries Ltd
