Peat free compost

Welcome to Our Small, Family Run Business

Founders Dan & Georgina have over 30 years of Garden Retail experience. They created this business to share their love of Roses, and to create a unique and sustainable gift service.

Quality is at the heart of our business, and we want to bring you the best roses possible. That’s why we go through painstaking lengths when selecting and growing our roses – so you don’t have to!

We grow our own roses at our nursery on the edge of the South Downs. We grow them outside, not using heated greenhouses that will burn unnecessary carbon fuels to run. This also means our plants are more tolerant of UK weather, which in turn means you get a healthier and hardier plant.

Our plants are surrounded by fresh air, and aren’t cramped conditions. This means they are healthier as diseases do not get a chance to spread and grow among our plants.

Eco-friendly and Sustainable

Rose plants are a living gift, which means that they will continue to grow and bring joy for years to come. Not just a one-time gift with a limited shelf life, these roses will be a shining beacon in the garden for years. With many varieties attracting bees, butterflies and other insects, they will enhance the garden not only with their sunny flowers, but also with what they attract. Insects in turn make the garden more favourable to birds and other small wildlife creatures, therefore helping our British wildlife to thrive.

We only use peat-free compost for our roses, which means we are we are not depleting the limited resource of peat bogs, which fulfil a very important ecological role. Luckily, Roses love peat-free compost and will thrive in it, so you can carry on with this sustainable medium for growing too!

We also use recycled wood and bark fibre in our compost. Not just ecologically friendly, it will improve the moisture retention of your garden soil. Everyone wins!

Even our plant pots and packaging are sustainable. The pots are made from recycled plastics, and can be disposed of in your household recycling. Our packaging is manufactured form recycled paper and card, and can also be put with your recycling.

We pride ourselves on having a great team of helpful staff, keen to help you with any issues you may have. If you need advice for which rose to select, how to care for it, or even just general questions, we can help you! Contact us here at English Roses.
