Name A Rose

At Garden Roses, we are also delighted to offer exclusive unnamed roses which are available for you to name and dedicate to a special person, animal, event or personal anniversary. Our corporate customers may also be interested in this for celebrating business milestones or products. Many of our customers use this service for a memorial occasion and as a long lasting way for friends and family to remember and pay tribute to someone special with a rose especially named to honour them.

Charities, Corporate Business, Happy Events and for treasured Pets and Animals are regularly associated with naming of a new rose. Our service differs from most online “name a rose” services, where suppliers continually relabel the same variety of rose hundreds of times over and supply you with one single rose. With Garden Roses, we offer you a truly individual and unique new rose coming from one of our exclusive rose breeders, truly representing a lifetime's work of careful selection and hybridisation. Each of the un-named roses we offer have been thoroughly trialled and tested for health, good performance and repeat flushes of flower.

Our Name a Rose service differs from many online services which relabel the same variety hundreds of times for different people. People wishing to take up this service are invited to our nursery to view our unnamed varieties (best viewed in June/July) and pick a rose suited for the occasion. This rose will be exclusively named as chosen by you.The cost of this is reflected in working with our exclusive breeders whose effort in creating new rose varieities takes many years of skill and dedication to create healthy roses with good garden performance. 

The process of bringing an unnamed rose to production takes usually 18 months - 2 years. You can name the rose as you wish, providing it has not been used commercially before. If you choose a name which has good commercial viability we usually will continue to grow the rose for years to come  - meaning you get the pleasure of knowing your rose is being grown and enjoyed through gardens across the country. This process starts from £500, which then depends on the unnamed seedling chosen and how many roses you require (minimum 10), they will be supplied in November to March as bareroot rose plants once grafted and fully grown on in our fields. (These are the roses numbered 003 - 028)

We also offer another process of naming a rose which means some plants can be named and dispatched immediately as potted plants, they may be pruned, may be in leaf or flower, depending on when purchased, (Certificates and plant labels will need making for every variety sold) The rose will be a unique purchase but will not go into general production. The number of plants available will depend on each seedling available, 1 to 10 plants, cost will vary from £200 to £1000 depending on the amount of plants and the variety. (These are the roses listed A - K)

Please get in touch with us via our contact form or by calling the office on 01406 424089 if you would like to find out more information or start the naming process.
