Now, I’m not the most green-fingered person around, but for some reason I’ve always liked the idea of having a rose garden. There’s one in Greenwich park and it’s so pretty and smells amazing in spring, and whenever I’m there it always makes me think it would be nice to have my own.

Here are some of my favourites properties with rose gardens on the market at the moment.

Wimbledon – £1,890,000
It’s got size (six bedrooms) and location (between Wimbledon and Putney) going for it, but for me it’s the treasure of a garden that propels this property to the top of the list. It’s got a formal rose garden, yes, but it’s also got fruit bushes and a pond.

This is like a little bit of countryside right on the doorstep of the city – and that’s something that money usually can’t buy. But in this case, it’s yours for under £2 million.

Maida Vale – £675,000
Okay, so this North London property doesn’t actually have its own rose garden, but if you’re looking for a flat and you like the idea of having some pretty greenery nearby then Morhead Mansions might be the home for you.

It overlooks the rose gardens of Paddington Recreation Ground so you get the garden without the effort – perfect! And you get yourself three bedrooms and a huge living space too.

Blackheath – £2,650,000
This Edwardian house not only sits on the edge of the Heath  but it also comes with half an acre of its own too. As well as the formal rose garden, the landscaped garden includes a terrace and large lawned areas.

The house has six bedrooms, two bathrooms and still has lots of original features, so it’s just as nice on the inside too.
