As part of its 40th anniversary celebrations Barnsdale Gardens is offering a donation to Greenfingers Charity from sales of Rose ‘Geoff Hamilton’.
The wonderful Rose ‘Geoff Hamilton’ is a blushing beauty of celebration which offers the flower shape and scent of the traditional English rose, but with a modern twist of super duper disease resistance.
The delicate pink flowers are held on stiff stems over a long season and the flowering time is from June to October. ‘Geoff Hamilton’ is best located in a sunny and moisture retentive position where it will grow to a final height and width of 150cm x 120cm.
The Geoff Hamilton rose was introduced by David Austin in 1997, the David Austin team states: “Named in memory of an old friend, this rose is strong-growing with good disease resistance. The flowers are of a warm soft pink and are cupped at first, later becoming rosette-shaped, the outer ring of petals fading to white, providing a most attractive effect. There is an Old Rose fragrance with a hint of apple.”
This rose is now only sold via the Barnsdale Gardens online shop and the Barnsdale team is supporting the Greenfingers Charity this year by offering a 10% donation for each rose sold, which equates to £3 per plant.
Linda Petrons, from Greenfingers, said: “We are absolutely thrilled that this stunning rose will support our work. As Geoff was involved with Greenfingers right from the early days, it’s a wonderful tribute to a special friend.”
Rose 'Geoff Hamilton' will be available from the online Barnsdale Gardens store from 7th March.
