Choosing a gift for a friend or loved one can feel overwhelming but here at English Roses we have a small range of gifts for book lovers. Have a book worm in your life but stuck for an idea? Then have a look at our four splendid roses and show them you care with a literary themed rose.
Truly Scrumptious is the feisty character in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang who eventually fall in love with Caractacus Potts. She doesn’t appear in the novel and was created for the film…but who’s telling. The pinky orange blooms and delightful scent will beguile the literature hound in your life. This hybrid-tea rose of course truly scrumptious. Sorry, we couldn’t resist.
Karen Blixen was the celebrated author of Out of Africa – a memoir of her time in Kenya in the early 20th century. Adapted for the screen in 1985 and starring Meryl Streep and Robert Redford it won the Oscar for Best Picture and Director. The rose itself boasts creamy white blooms and a lovely sweet perfume. With a neat bushy habit it will suit patios and make an excellent cut flower.
Gloriana is a character in Edmund Spenser’s The Faerie Queene based on Elizabeth I. One of the longest poems in the English language, The Faerie Queene is an allegorical epic poem following various knights on their adventures. The rose itself is a climber with elegant pink /purple blooms, a light fragrance and offers repeat climbing throughout the summer.
Named after the iconic Cote d’Azure hotel that attracted literary icons such as F. Scott Fitzgerald and Ernest Hemingway. Fitzgerald was inspired to write short stories there and began his novel Tender is The Night. The rose itself has stunning cerise pink blooms with a rich and fruity scent. What a way to bring a touch of the French Riviera to an English garden.
