The Pursuit of Excellence

If you have not bought roses from Wych Cross before you need to know that we plant all our roses into 5 litre pots (10 litre pots for all standard roses), which are 25% bigger than those normally used by most rose growers. We use a specially prepared compost with an unusually high loam content and a slow release fertilizer. This produces a quality of rose, especially later in the season, which we believe is unsurpassed anywhere and on which our reputation is founded.

Size Matters

We also normally have a wide range of container grown specimen roses in 10 litre and 15 litre pots (Sometimes even bigger!)

Close Encounters

All our roses are closely inspected and regularly fed and sprayed throughout the season.

The Copper Bottomed Guarantee

Nevertheless, as with all plants, failures can occur. Accordingly all our roses carry a copper-bottomed (well plastic-bottomed, actually!) no quibble, free replacement guarantee.

Postmans Knock? - Unfortunately Not

Because we specialise in the production of potted and container grown roses, we do not sell our roses bare-root and therefore regret that:

We are not able to offer a mail order service - Sorry!

One advantage of not being a mail-order business is that we get the opportunity to meet all our customers in person. I’ve never come across a business that didn’t claim to put customer service the number one priority, but we do genuinely like people here and try to treat customers as our guests. Over the years many of you have become friends. So whether you are a regular customer or contemplating your first visit, we look forward to welcoming you to Wych Cross where we will be delighted to discuss, show off and even - at a pinch - sell you the roses that give us so much pleasure.
