Here is a selection of our favourite Old Roses. Some of these varieties are over 150 years old. While some modern varieties fade into obscurity within a few decades, it says a great deal for these beautiful plants. These roses have stood the test of time and come out on top. Each Rose has been chosen for its historical or genealogical importance. With their beautiful scents and subtle colours they are sure to fit into any planting scheme and are a must have for any garden.
