DescriptThe most frequently heard comment from visitors to the garden is surprise! when you come in from the village you enter a hidden garden, totally unexpected and full of surprises! once inside its hard to imagine you are in the centre of a busy village, planting is heavy and reflects our love of plants. Sturdy plants suitable for providing shelter in a garden are frequently not that exciting, and it was not long before our passion for climbing plants of all kinds took hold - We could grow them up everything else! The 1 acre garden contains many climbers including a great many old Rambling roses and Clematis (the two often mix well together - we have a large selection of Clematis viticella hybrids in the garden and now hold one of the Plant Heritage National Collections of Clematis viticella cvs.). Many of the others like Trachelospermum, Jasmine and Lonicera are strongly scented. A Victorian conservatory provides shelter for tender climbers (and us!). Even our favourite climbers have to compete for space with the many other unusual plants we are lucky enough to be able to grow.

Here at Roseland House we garden by using plants rather than hard landscaping; not only do we grow a very large range of unusual plants but we propagate nearly all of them in the nursery (which is also open for visters to look around) The garden contains collections of many plant genra including Lonicera, Jasminium, Lapageria, and because we are a small garden we tend not to get crowds of people and are able to meet and talk to all the visitors who wish to discuss plants and gardening.
This is a garden created and gardened by us, and it is a garden that most gardeners can relate to.
There are no Rhododendrons here and the garden comes into its own in early summer, remaining full of flower and scent until autumn.
