We're delighted that once again we'll be holding the Rose Weekend here at the nursery on the 5th and 6th July 2025. The centrepiece of the weekend will be the National Championships of the British Isles Rose Society, with some of the top amateur rose growers in the country competing against each other to display the best blooms. There will be a programme of talks and demonstrations across both days, with advice on pruning and growing healthy roses, as well as help on choosing the best varieties for your garden. There will also be over 4000 potted rose plants in full bloom for you to choose from. The most delicious coffee and cakes will be on offer from the Café Racer team . We'd love you to join us.

Our new range of autumn bulbs is now updated and available to pre-order for delivery between September and November 2025. It's a huge range, and there is sure to be something for you, no matter whether you prefer the elegant and timeless, or a riot of colour. Several exciting new introductions to look out for, as well as the return of many traditional favourites. Keep an eye on our Knowledge Base for more articles on bulbs over the coming weeks.

The top fruit section on the website is now updated, allowing orders for bare root fruit trees for delivery between November 2025 and March 2026. Prices will have to increase slightly next season, but order by Friday 27th June 2025 to beat the price increase and benefit from last year's prices. The range we offer is second to none, both in terms of varieties, choice of rootstocks and trained fruit trees. All are grown here in Pickering on our 240 acre nursery, by full-time skilled nursery workers, using traditional techniques. The Nut Tree and Soft Fruit sections will be updated shortly. As ever, if you have any questions, we're always on hand to help guide you through the process, to make sure you get the right trees for your needs.

We're delighted that the next crops of both containerised and bare root roses are now available to pre-order. Containerised roses will be sent out as from the last week in May, once they have rooted in their pots and started to come into strong growth. They should be in flower for you around the end of June. Bare root roses can be reserved now, for delivery in November 2025 as soon as the next season begins.
