HERITAGE

Heritage roses varieties existed prior to modern hybridisation. They have strong historical significance and unique stories. Usually richly fragrant with full (multi-petalled) flowers and a romantic cupped &/or quartered form. Naturally hardy and disease-resistant, they are often large, bushy shrubs that make an impressive garden centrepiece.
