At the core of Harkness Roses is the development of new roses. This directly follows the tradition of rose nurserymen for hundreds of years before us, who obtained their roses by using many of the same practices that are still in use today. At Harkness the rose breeding is non-technical. There are no laboratory methods, just pollination by hand, and reliance on the roses to carry out their natural cycle. The main part of a rose breeder's work is in observing and selecting. Our efforts are focussed on seeking better disease resistance, more perfume, more colours, and (of course), more flowers over a longer period.

H150xW100Scent 3
Cumberland is a fine, new climbing rose of moderate growth, ideal for small spaces. Its rich shade of blood red adds lustre and tone to the garden over a long period, as flowering repeats, usually between early summer and the cold season in late September.

Beauty and practicality all in one, this is a supremely easy rose to grow. It produces handsome blooms in cool, blushing amber over a very long season. We recommend it for all garden situations.

 
Love Forever
Love Forever
H90xW60Scent 8

A classic hybrid tea in a fine, traditional colour, whose true beauty is in the exceptional size of its blooms. The bush is sturdy and upright, with high-quality flower-form, and strong perfume. It's a splendid rose to grow in borders, and ideal to cut for vase-arrangement.

The Princess Alice Hospice receives a donation of £2.50 for each rose sold.

Lakeland Rose
Lakeland Rose
H200xW100Scent 5

The great charm of The Lakeland Rose is in the simplicity of its scented, apple-blossom blooms. In an occasionally over-elaborate world simple things often look appealing; the style of The Lakeland Rose may bring a breath of fresh air to anyone who's fed up with the complex blooms sometimes seen in today's gardens.

H120xW100Scent 4

This beautiful new shrub rose is full of charm, sharing some of the excellent qualities of the delightful hybrid musks, an inspired creation of the Rev. J. Pemberton in the early 1900s. There is similar, elegant habit, broader than it is tall, ideal for pride of place in a mixed border, or as a flowering hedge.
