Rose (public) Garden
Listing last updated on Wed Aug 2024
[From A Book of Gardening: Idea, Designs, Methods, by Penelope Hobhouse, p. 132:] at Tatton Park an Edwardian rose garden is planted with roses mainly in pale tints... [p. 146:] an inner garden, almost surrounded with walls, is known as Her Ladyship's Garden... Tradition had it that gardeners had to finish work in this area before 10 a.m. in Edwardian times, so that Anna, the last Lady Egerton, should not be disturbed. Stone steps lead down to the pool and a low balustrade and wall, over which climbers such as Rosa mulliganii (formerly known as R. longicuspis) clamber, separate the garden from the thickly planted Tower garden beyond... The rose beds have recently been planted in pale pastel colours very much in Gertrude Jekyll's style... The first bed is planted with 180 bushes of the fragrant white-flowered 'Katherina [sic] Zeimet'... standard bushes of 'White Pet' are arranged symmetrically to give height and interest...
