Rose of W.B. Yeats in bloom
Ireland: Secret Gardens of Sligo and Yeats Society to launch new rose variety
The new rose, developed on Irish soil by world-renowned rose breeders, Dickson's Nurseries, will be launched in Sligo.
Although not yet launched, the rose has already won several awards, including a Certificate of Merit from The Hague International Rose Trials, and a Gold Medal from the Royal National Rose Society in the UK.
Breeding a new rose is a lengthy business. It includes the eight years of the breeding process, the cost of trialling it, registering and cataloguing it (so that it can be available for sale in garden centres here and abroad) and launching it both here in Sligo and also at Hampton Court Flower Show.
