Roses

Harkness Roses (roses.co.uk) is the official online store of one of the UK’s most renowned rose nurseries, with over 140 years breeding and growing British roses. In its catalogue you’ll find 200+ varieties available as potted plants and bare root, with options for every type of garden: bush roses, climbers, shrub, patio, hybrid teas, ground cover, standard, and pollinator-friendly varieties.

The website lets you shop by type and also by colour (red, white, yellow, pink, apricot/orange, purple/blue and multicolour), plus gift collections such as birthday, anniversary or named roses (including the option to personalise a rose). The brand stands out for its selection of award-winning varieties — with presence at events like the RHS Chelsea Flower Show — and its focus on repeat flowering performance, fragrance, and disease resistance.

Buying from Harkness is a great option if you’re looking for nursery-quality roses with expert planting and care advice, and you want to choose between potted or bare-root plants depending on the season. The store also highlights a lifetime guarantee on its roses and offers mail-order service with next-day delivery options on certain orders.
