In 1984 Lady Tollemache devised this unique
support system for her old-fashioned shrub
roses in the gardens of Helmingham Hall.
The system provides an informal and natural
structure for old-fashioned roses, which
tend to be lax and sprawling. The Helmingham
Rose Support also enables shrub roses
to produce a greater profusion of blooms
because, by tying the new shoots down,
sunlight reaches the full length of each
stem, enabling growth from top to bottom.
After heavy rainfall the rose still retains
its shape.
Much admired by fellow gardeners and visitors
to the gardens, the Helmingham Rose Support
system is now available in kit form with
full assembly instructions.
To get the maximum benefit from the Helmingham
Rose Support your shrub rose should be
at least three years old.
Available in dark green or black.

“Lady
Tollemarche’s new rose support, her
brilliant idea, simple but effective, is
the perfect way to have the best display
from your old-fashioned roses. Use one and
you will be amazed at how better you can
see and smell these beautifully formed,
highly scented varieties, whether as simple
specimens or in your mixed borders. The
decorative frames will serve you for years” |
