Roses
We specialise in cultivating over 400,000 roses annually, offering both bare root and potted varieties. Our selection includes hybrid teas, floribundas, and climbing roses suitable for hedges, borders, or standalone displays. With mail-order delivery available nationwide, customers can access our comprehensive rose catalogue featuring varieties for every occasion and growing condition.
Peonies
Our premium potted peonies provide striking garden displays with blooms from June onwards. Available in 3-5 eye root varieties, these plants thrive as standalone features or complement our rose collections. The online shop offers detailed growing information and seasonal delivery options for both amateur gardeners and professional landscapers.
Hedging Plants
We grow and supply diverse hedging solutions including beech, laurel, and hornbeam varieties. Our native species selection supports wildlife habitats while providing privacy screens and security barriers. Expert guidance ensures customers choose appropriate species for their soil type, climate, and desired growth rate across both residential and commercial projects.
Garden Centre Products
Our two garden centres stock over 160 acres of products including architectural plants, garden ornaments, and seasonal flora. Customers access specialist items like imported Italian plants, stoneware, and landscaping materials alongside everyday gardening essentials. Both locations feature The Coffee Garden for refreshments during shopping visits.
