The Perfect Gifts for Gardeners this Christmas
As the garden rests and daylight draws in, Christmas becomes a lovely moment to surprise the gardener in your life with something thoughtful. The right gift can brighten the quieter months and carry the promise of beauty when spring returns and the roses wake again.
Gift Cards: A thoughtful winter gift
A gift card is a considerate way to let gardeners choose something they truly want, whether that is a rose to enjoy in summer, a tool they have had their eye on, or an experience for the year ahead. It brings a little anticipation to the quieter months.
2026 Wall Calendar: Inspiration for the year ahead
A rose filled calendar brings a touch of beauty to each month. With photography that captures the joy of summer flowering, it is both useful and uplifting as gardeners plan for the season to come.
Afternoon Tea Gift Cards: Something lovely to look forward to
An afternoon tea gift card offers the promise of a relaxing visit to our gardens when the days grow warmer. It makes a charming Christmas gift, giving your recipient a memorable outing to enjoy once summer returns.
Pruning Workshop: Preparing for the new season
A place on one of our pruning workshops is a practical and inspiring gift. It equips gardeners with the skills to shape their roses confidently before growth begins in spring, supporting a stronger display later in the year.
Roses to Treasure
Our roses are available as bare root or potted plants. If planting needs to be delayed, our blog explains how to store bare root roses until the garden is ready.
A Gift for Every Gardener
Whether you choose an experience, a rose to look forward to, or something practical for the season ahead, each gift carries the hope of brighter days and the quiet pleasure of watching a garden return to life.

Roses in the Shadow: English Roses for Shaded SpotsWhen we speak of “shade” in the garden, it is important to be precise. Few roses will prosper in deep shadow, but many are perfectly happy with four or five hours of sunlight a day. Think of those north-facing walls or quiet spots that bask in morning or evening light. These are not wasted spaces; with the right roses, they can become some of the most enchanting areas of the garden.

Creating Living Walls with Climbing RosesA living wall has a way of transforming a space, turning a simple surface into a quiet theatre of petals, scent and shifting light. When English Roses form the foundation, the display becomes generous and enduring. Their repeat blooms, soft colours and naturally graceful habit bring depth and character to any vertical space, whether it is a boundary fence, a warm house wall or a tucked-away corner that needs a little life.

The Perfumed Garden: English Roses That Fill the Air with FragranceSoft light spills across a quiet garden, where the hum of bees threads through the still air and petals tremble with the morning dew. There is a hush here, a sense that time itself slows, inviting the senses to wander and the spirit to rest. In these moments, the perfume of roses becomes more than a fragrance. It is at once familiar and fleeting, a memory, a mood, a gentle companion to the day, recalling childhood gardens, evening walks and the warmth of the sun. Among our English Roses, some are distinguished not only by their beauty but by the generosity of their perfume.
