Rose Gardens in Buckinghamshire, Berkshire and Oxfordshire

There’s a moment in the garden when the tender green promise of spring bubbles over into frothy summer splendour. We all look forward to June roses, but each year it seems to catch us gloriously by surprise. From the big, bold flowers loved by Lady Brunner at Greys Court to the formal 1950s garden design by Sir Geoffrey Jellicoe at Cliveden, discover a few of our best spots for beautiful summer blooms.
