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.

Very good site well pleased
Bought for my daughter’s birthday she was over the moon with the rose bush. I haven’t seen it because we live apart but she informed me yesterday it was doing well. I am very pleased and would recommend Harkness Roses.

Excellent service
I firstly emailed them with a query about a specific rose. They quickly responded, answered my questions and I placed an order. The plant arrived very quickly, well packaged and the rose was a strong, well branched specimen. Very satisfied.

Great service
Great service. 1st rose cam damaged however Harkness Roses replaced immediately and the second rose arrived asap and was perfect. The first rose was delayed by a few days which is why it isn't a 5 star review.

Royal William from Harkness Roses.
As always my roses arrived well packed and on time and healthy. Even though it is quite late in the season one of the roses has bloomed and I was not dissapointed. Two individual, large red roses, just like the ones you used to get for Valentines Day. These blooms have held their shape and form and are still in tact with all their petals despite the recent stormy, windy,, rainy weather. I thoroughly recommend this rose and Harkness Roses, a trusted, reliable online nursery.
