Proprietors Mr. and Mrs. J.Jinks have a small rose garden and tea rooms. Their whole range of hundreds of varieties of roses in containers is on view in the plant centre, which is set in 15 acres of some of Shropshire’s most beautiful countryside. They have roses named for special occasions and personalised roses. Contact them for a full list of roses available, or view their website.
In 1998 we decided to construct a new rose garden to allow our customers to view the roses, without having to trudge through a muddy field. Three years in the making, the rose garden is designed to show the best attributes of our roses.
The Rose Field situated alongside Chichester harbour, presents a riot of colour from June to September. It contains all types of rose: ramblers, climbers, floribundas, hybrid teas, miniatures and shrubs - some 300 varieties in all, including old favourites and the latest varieties.
The Garden was originally an orchard and has gradually been transformed over the past 10 years into a beautiful rose garden. In its borders all of the roses listed in this catalogue can be found. At the centre of the garden are beds holding the containerised plants, which are for sale.
