Our history

Breeding exquisite roses since 1961

For over 60 years we have been growing roses on our family farm in Shropshire, lovingly nurturing them by hand until they are ready to be passed onto you, to be enjoyed in your own gardens.

Crafted by hand

Today, most of our growing is still carried out by hand, just as it was at the very beginning. Every plant that we sell has been hand-budded, a traditional and intricate skill carried out by our experts millions of times each year.

A lifetime of breeding excellence

Handpicked parent roses

We start by carefully selecting parent roses, merging scientific knowledge with intuition to identify desired traits.
Handcrafted Hybridisation

With 40,000 yearly cross-pollinations, we nurture genetic blends by hand, creating one-of-a-kind offspring.
Rigorous Selection Process

From seed to market, only the most enchanting roses make the cut, promising beauty, fragrance, and grace.

"The goal remains the same - develop the healthiest roses possible without compromising their beauty, fragrance, grace and most importantly, their charm."
David Austin Snr.
