Help me choose a rose variety!

[Excilente]

I really want a lovely rose plant for my garden, one that produces large/pretty roses, preferably pink/yellow red.

The area its going doesn't have brilliant soil, and doesn't get much sunshine if any, its pretty much always in shade other than early morning.. currently there is a clematis and a small Japanese Acer thriving in the rough area.

Obviously we'll be planting with a rich compost when it goes in!

So, can anyone help identify some more commonly available varieties to keep an eye out for when i go to the garden Centre?

I recently ordered another couple on line from David Austin. I’d thoroughly recommend, healthiest plants I’ve ever seen. Absolutely beautiful.

Roses seem to do fine in poorer soils ime. I've got Wildeve and Queen of Sweden. Both are David Austin shrub roses and they are doing well. Lots of buds so far this year. They haven't flowered yet due to the weird weather meaning they're a bit behind.

Another vote for David Austen roses. I have five in the garden. They are far more disease resistant and vigorous than the standard hybrid teas you buy at garden centres and there's a huge selection available online. You can buy them from Dobies and big garden centres but I'd be more inclined to get them direct as they don't always look after them very well at GCs.

I should add as well that our soil is rubbish but my Summer Song, Olivia Rose Austin and Vanessa Bell plants have already flowered profusely in their first year from bare roots bought in November. They look so healthy, I'm really chuffed with them.

Yes I’d recommend buying direct too, the ones I received are far far superior to the ones in the garden centre, inc the David Austin ones they held, I assume due to the care they are given. It’s the same price or slightly dearer in a garden centre so no benefit in buying there.

I placed my order in the evening, it was dispatched next day and arrived the morning after, even though it says three to four days.

I've got A Shropshire Lad by David Austin roses, I love it. Beautiful pink roses and it's in a crappy shady corner of the garden and it's thriving.
It's a climber though, not a rosebush
