Caragh Garden Notebook

Apricot roses look their best with a little contrast: plant alongside silvers, purples and deep greens for a really elegant scheme. Deadhead regularly and feed in spring/early summer for the longest flowering season.
A radiant, fragrant David Austin rose — perfect for adding warmth, romance and repeat colour all season long.
