Best Thornless Roses
Rose Simplicity Violet Serenity
“Violet Serenity” is a magnificent small, shrub rose owing to its colourful display of bright pink flowers. The showy blooms are borne as clusters from late spring through into summer. The foliage comprises glossy, dark green leaves which provide a lovely backdrop to the flowers. Unlike other roses, this variety only has very short thorns so is a lot more “user friendly”. This deciduous plant typically grows compactly to 70 cm tall and the same wide and is generally pruned each winter with about 75% of the stem removed. That said, this variety can also be left unpruned and will not get out of control like traditional rose varieties. It performs best when planted in full sun on a well-drained, sheltered site, and is tolerant of frost and cool climates. It also has exceptional disease resistance. “Violet Serenity” is commonly included in a mixed or border planting, included in a courtyard or cottage garden, planted around outdoor living areas, or maintained in a container.

Chaenomeles Double Take Pink (Chaenomeles Flower)
Chaenomeles Double Take Pink is an ornamental Quince that features masses of pink flowers from late winter. At this time the shrub is an arching network of thornless branches with clusters of tight buds that open into the exquisite, double blossoms. The leaves emerge a fresh green, darken with age, then develop yellow tones in autumn before falling as it grows to 1.2 m tall and 1 m wide. Chaenomeles Double Take Pink is commonly added to a mixed planting, grown for floral art, used as an informal or formal hedge, or planted in clusters for a stunning display.
