during the war. Coincidentally, the AARS named Peace its only winner for 1946 on the same day
Japan surrendered, effectively ending the war. More popular today than when it was first introduced.

of the flower is well filled with petals, their closeness giving the impression of a rich, apricot - pink.
Around the center, the loose ring of petals curl in slightly and so show their pale apricot yellow
undersides. It will quickly make a lovely, bushy, rounded shrub with quite straight stems, the many
flowers nodding just slightly. There is a strong and beautiful myrrh fragrance. ‘Carding Mill’ is an

English Rose/Shrub Rose
The young flowers are deep pink, almost red, fading to pure rich pink. The rather narrow petals are
unusually substantial, with a hint of yellow on their undersides. Held in large, fragrant clusters, they
are produced with remarkable freedom. A particularly healthy variety; it forms a bushy, upright
shrub with thick, succulent, highly polished foliage. Named for Her Royal Highness, the Princess
Royal.

English Shrub Rose
This variety’s beauty is found both in the simplicity of its single flowers and the spectacular display
they create when viewed en masse. Held in large, open sprays, the yellow flowers open to reveal
golden stamens. Paling prettily over time, they have a light musky scent, with fresh notes of orange
peel. It flowers freely, repeating regularly throughout the summer. A large, healthy shrub; its growth
is rounded and branching. Named to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Annie Tempest’s classic
weekly cartoon which was first published in Country Life magazine in the UK in January 1993. The
cartoon Tottering-by-Gently depicts the everyday capers of an English couple, Dicky and Daffy
Tottering and their family whilst living at Tottering Hall. The tongue-in-cheek humor cleverly
addresses differing social perspectives of our time.

Beautifully rounded flowers, with neatly placed petals making up perfect rosettes. The buds are
lightly tinged with yellow but as the flowers open they become pure white. A vigorous shrub; its
growth is bushy and upright, clothed in light green foliage, curving outwards in a most attractive
manner. With its pure white flowers, this rose lives up to its name. We are sure that with its pure
