Wake up and smell the roses at our special festival
Think of a summer garden in the UK and beautiful, fragrant roses will spring to mind. Gorgeous climbers, hybrid tea roses, floribunda roses, rambling, patio, shrub and more in a rainbow of different colours. The national flower of England has a truly quintessential appeal for all ages.
We love roses so much the team are dedicating nine days to celebrating this favourite summer flower, with a Rose Festival starting on Saturday 22nd June.
The festival features a rose trail with themed areas helping rose-lovers find the variety best suited to your garden Whether you’re an absolute beginner, looking for a rose to complement your archway, or searching out some blooms to brighten up a shady area of outdoor space you can find exactly what you are looking for in the extensive outdoor rose area.
Advice and guidance will be available from our Groves rose experts – we grow them so we know them! In fact, the plant nursery at Groves grows over 5000 roses a year in over 100 different varieties, all in peat-free compost.
While you’re in-store, pick up the Groves Rose Care Calendar to help get the best out of your roses once home and planted, check out the offers and make sure you enter the special Festival competition. The winner will receive a beautiful rose-themed treat hamper packed full of gardening goodies.
