This is the garden where roses and romance feature. Repeated planting creates rhythms of plants with a manicured and formal appearance.

Mottisfont planting style

Mottisfont starts with the timeless rose, which sets the tone for the whole garden. Repeated planting provides the line of symmetry and a traditional feel continues with the choice of plants - from hydrangeas to anemone; familiar flowers from the best British gardens. The vibrant red rose mixes with blues, pinks and splashes of white and yellow. Some might say it’s the union jack in a garden.

Rose

Adored by many, roses are a must-have for a classic English garden style. Their large fragrant flowers blooming throughout the summer will fill your senses with ease and romance.

Box

For a small neat and clipped shrub ball, Box is the one. This evergreen shrub has small oval leaves which form on compact branches to create a green frame for your planting. They are perfect for adding structure and form to the garden and being evergreen they will look great throughout the year.
Hydrangea

Hydrangeas are well known for their billowing mop-head like flower clusters, which nod on extended stems. This shrub is perfect for late summer and early autumn interest but the dead flower heads will continue to add structure well into the winter months.
