Growing roses from seeds

If you really fancied the multicoloured route you could also consider grafting. 

I can't remember where it was, but there was a stately home we visited a few years back with an Alice in Wonderland theme - and they had red and white roses. I think it took some careful pruning but it looked good. 

I take it the roses weren’t painted.   . Alice was my favourite book as a child and I loved the bit where the cards painted the white roses red as they had planted the wrong ones!

I'm guessing you've seen Osiria rosa?  By all accounts a bit of a dud in a home garden, but what I think of when I imagine the Queen's garden. 

They did also have beautiful tulips on the theme - Google is suggesting they might have been ‘Estella Rijnveld’, but time and memory may be leading me to lie to you.

I have seen it now . The rose and the tulips look a bit OTT
