I have looked after all types of roses during my time as a professional gardener. From the blousy, deeply fragrant blooms of 'Gertrude Jekyll', to the pink perfection of 'The Generous Gardener', scrambling over trellises and walls. I’ve grown climbing roses across vast pergolas, and deadheaded potted roses for more hours than I care to remember.
Over the last decade, I have worked in a wide range of gardens, from large rural plots to tiny urban terraces. And, whilst you might think that roses are only suited to larger spaces, the truth is that there are so many different types of rose, from floribundas to drifts, ground cover to compact shrubs, that are all perfectly suitable for small outside spaces.
