Our Fall Lineup Is Now Online!
We are thrilled to announce that our new rose lineup is now live to view on the site. Pre-orders open October 15th. Find out what's New For 2027.
In anticipation of October 15th, inspired by feedback from passionate gardeners, we're pleased to announce the launch of a Wishlist feature. Log in and save the roses you love. Logging in means your list is saved no matter what device you're on.
We're also including something new: our first Small Batch Collection. These roses were produced in limited numbers. Once harvested, we grade each one carefully (sorting for health and vigor) so we don't over-promise on availability. Grading is expected to wrap around December 1st, at which point pre-orders will open for this collection.
Add your favourite roses to your Wishlist now and we'll notify you the moment they're ready for pre-order.
What Is A Rose Sport?
If you have ever walked past a rose in your garden and seen a flower that looks noticeably different from the rest of your plant, you have likely seen a rose sport! It’s the term used to describe a naturally occurring genetic mutation that causes a part of the plant to change in some way. This may show up as a difference in bloom colour, it may alter the petal count, shape of the bloom or even the overall growth habit of the plant. It's important to note that on a grafted rose this will be on a cane of the plant originating from above the grafting union.
Some sports are fleeting, appearing once and never again. Others are stable, meaning the change holds and new plants can be propagated from a cutting or bud eyes of the sport. Some of the roses we know and love today were discovered this way. We have a few beautiful varieties grown from discovered sports on our website for you to browse.
Royal Bonica®, a sport of Bonica®, offers a more upright habit and larger, fuller blooms in a deeper pink hue. The World Hall of Fame Rose, Eden Climber® has had two sports, Eden Climber® White and Eden Climber® Pretty In Pink which are both gorgeous options to consider. Eleganza® Sweet Beauty™ is a natural sport of Eleganza® Buxom Beauty™. Similar in plant stature and bloom size, the unique differences are found in the flower colour and fragrance. This beautiful pair are both new to our lineup this year and we could not be more pleased to share them with you.
