A Closer Look

The garden has been developed through the last ten years with the collection of roses built up to the current total of more than 1,800. Beds and borders are filled with all manner of shrub roses – English, French and Italian varieties, while climbing and rambling varieties are trained into trees, over arbours and arches and against walls.

Roses might be the forte of this garden but they are complimented by a variety of fine specimen trees, a collection of some 200 Japanese maples and a selection of unusual water features.
