Butterfly roses

Butterfly roses

3 rose varieties

Butterfly roses bring lightness, movement, and natural charm to the garden, either through flowers that resemble fluttering butterflies or through open blooms that attract pollinators. This collection features rose varieties with single, semi-double, or loosely formed flowers, visible stamens, graceful growth, and often a softer, more natural garden character. Some butterfly roses are admired for changing colours, while others are valued for their wildlife-friendly appeal in pollinator gardens, cottage borders, mixed plantings, and informal landscapes. Explore roses with airy beauty, seasonal colour, and a lively presence that makes the garden feel more alive.
