Features

notes

The English Musk Hybrid rose Rosa Tottering-by-Gently (Auscartoon) from David Austin has masses of single yellow flowers, held in large, open sprays. The open, single flowers will attract bees, and later form attractive rosehips.

Please note, our roses are available to purchase all year round, so depending on the time of year your rose may either arrive in bloom or have been pruned or deadheaded appropriately for the season.

Insights

Named to celebrate the 25th anniversary year of Annie Tempest’s classic weekly cartoon, 'Tottering-by-Gently'. First published in Country Life magazine in January 1994, it depicts the everyday capers of Dicky and Daffy Tottering at Tottering Hall. The tongue-in-cheek humour cleverly addresses differing social perspectives of our time.
