Antique roses

Antique roses are queens of the fragrant garden. Old-fashioned varieties - and the David Austin English rose lookalikes - won't disappoint. Those renowned for scent include: white rugosa rose ‘Blanc Double de Coubert'; purple-pink Bourbon rose ‘Madame Isaac Pereire'; pink and white hybrid perpetual ‘Ferdinand Pichard'; claret moss rose ‘William Lobb'; pink damask ‘Ispahan'; English rose Golden Celebration; and the ancient Rosa gallica officinalis.
