Visit Powis Castle, near Welshpool, to find famous rose-coloured ramparts perched atop billowing, cloud-shaped yews. Italianate terraces cascade downwards, whilst roses climb around elegant balustrades and classical-inspired sculptures.

Warwickshire’s Coughton Court, has a special place in English history, owing to its involvement in both the Throckmorton plot to assassinate Elizabeth I, and later the famous gunpowder plot. Today, the courtyard is still arranged in the style of a Tudor knot garden. For a more informal garden, head to the Rose Labyrinth, with twists and turns, rambling rose arches, and a surprise round every corner. The gardens are far from minimalist, and will keep a keen plantsman interested for hours.

Found in the Scottish Borders, Carolside Gardens is a garden full of colour, texture and scent. Lime-green Alchemilla mollis provides a bed for campanulas and towering lupins. Most impressive, though, is the collection of historic roses. These include gallica varieties cultivated by Empress Josephine and Damask roses, prized for their fragrance and thought to have been brought back by Crusading knights. Carolside is not a place of regimented flowerbeds or fastidious formality, it’s a place of planting passion.

The Alnwick Garden, Northumberland, is probably best known for its infamous Poison Garden, home to deadly plants like monkshood, mandrake, brugmansia and ricinus.
