About Us — Growing Joy, One Rose at a Time
At English Roses, spreading the joy of roses is at the very heart of what we do.
We believe that few things bring more lasting happiness than the simple beauty and fragrance of a living rose — a gift that grows and blooms year after year.
Whether it’s to celebrate a birthday, mark an anniversary, or remember a loved one, a rose from English Roses is more than a plant — it’s a living memory.
Our Story
Founder, Dan Myatt, created English Roses with a clear purpose:
to share his lifelong love of roses and to encourage more people to reconnect with the natural world around them.
From our nursery on the edge of the South Downs in West Sussex, our dedicated team cultivates every rose with care using traditional growing techniques. We focus on quality over quantity — doing one thing, and doing it exceptionally well.
Our Promise
- Grow the best roses, not the most roses
Each plant is nurtured slowly, outdoors, surrounded by fresh air and natural light. Our open-field approach creates stronger, healthier roses — and reduces the need for intensive methods or artificial heat. - Good value is our top value
We believe that everyone should be able to enjoy the beauty of roses. That’s why we focus on offering exceptional plants at fair prices — without cutting corners on quality or sustainability.
Growing with Nature
- Grown outdoors
Our roses thrive naturally in the open air, producing robust, resilient plants that are truly garden-ready. This method keeps our growing process less intensive and more environmentally balanced. - Peat-free compost
Every rose is grown in 100% peat-free compost, made from recycled wood and bark fibres. This not only protects precious peat bogs but also improves the moisture and structure of your garden soil.
(And the roses love it!) - Sustainable packaging
We’re proud to be a plastic-conscious business.- Our pots are made from recycled materials and can be fully recycled at home.
- Our packaging uses recycled paper and card, designed to be beautiful, protective, and eco-friendly.
- Spring water nourishment
All of our roses are watered with natural spring water from beneath the South Downs. The minerals in our water help produce incredibly healthy plants — and, as we like to say, a rather good cup of tea too!
Our Belief
At English Roses, we believe that gardening connects us to something deeper — a sense of care, time, and renewal.
A rose is more than a flower; it’s a gift that grows alongside you, year after year.
Thank you for supporting a small, sustainable British nursery — and for helping us share the joy of roses with the world.
