Rose garden in the grounds of Broadgreen House. Established in 1968 and contains 3000 plants of over 600 varieties. It includes old and modern roses displayed in a formal garden. At the rear of the house grows the “Slater’s Crimson China’ rose. Broadgreen house was a typical gentleman’s residence built in 1855. It has been faithfully restored and furnished and is now a museum.
We recently visited Wakefield and discovered a sensational rose outside the Village Gallery- dark velvety red with a fragrance to die for. It is a climber and quite thorny.
The owner of the premises does not know the name of this rose. My search suggests Papa Meilland ,but I don’t know roses at all.
I am keen to obtain a rose such as this, so would appreciate it if anyone know the rose in questions and can identify it correctly for me
Thanks in anticipation
