At Sisley Garden Tours we welcome rose enthusiasts from garden clubs,
rose societies and other similar organizations around the world. We
know our gardens. Tours are tailor-made for each group and can
include visits to galleries, the theatre or other events such as the
Hampton Court Palace Flower Show, where you can pass your own
judgement on the entries in the annual national rose competition. And
the good news is, we can offer tour organizers a free place when they
are accompanied by 20 or more colleagues. A one week tour works out
from around $1,300 US, depending on the quality of hotel and
extras required.
English rose gardens are still worth a visit into late summer when
the remontant roses perform their second smile of the season. Joy at
the start of the season and sadness towards the end each have their
own beauty. Even a late summer tour of English rose gardens will
provide memories to treasure for the rest of your life.
