Over the last thirty or so years we have raised and introduced a number of beautiful classic roses all of which
are the results of years of painstaking breeding and hybridising.
The Modern Classic range is a core collection of our introductions, especially chosen by our Rosarians as
they hold certain qualities gardeners have come to expect from the modern rose; such as beautifully shaped
blooms, fragrance, robust growth and a significant disease resistance.
