Written by the company
The Harkness nursery had its origins in 1879 in Yorkshire, soon becoming well-known as a grower of top quality roses. It was 80 years later that Jack Harkness began breeding new varieties in Hitchin, determined to create new and ever-more beautiful roses. Today, Harkness Roses are known & grown world-wide; we believe their reliability, flowering performance and beauty are second to none.

Quality plant expertly pruned
Fast delivery and plant well packaged so arrived safely and undamaged. The rose bush itself very healthy – plenty of lush new growth. From the shape and form of the plant you can tell it has been expertly pruned to produce a good shape going forward.
