Roses for cutting
Picture this: vases bursting with lush, fragrant roses in every room of your home. No need to rely on the supermarket flower aisle—when you grow your own roses for cutting, you get fresh, stunning blooms whenever you like.
While most roses look great in a vase, some varieties truly shine indoors. The best cut roses have long, sturdy stems, lasting power, and that unforgettable scent. Whether you’re styling a table setting, giving a homegrown gift, or just upgrading your shelfie game, these top picks from our garden centre won’t disappoint.
Our Favourite Roses for Cutting
- ‘William Shakespeare 2000’
Deep crimson petals so dark they almost look black—this one is bold, moody, and beautifully scented. Plus, it’s a modern variety, meaning it’s tough on disease and lasts well in the vase.
- ‘Princess Alexandra’
Stylish and elegant, this magenta rose is a florist’s dream. It has impressively long stems and keeps fresh indoors for over a week. Perfect for dramatic solo stems or mixed arrangements.
- ‘Charles de Mills’
Looking for colour that turns heads? This old-school rose is packed with rich purple blooms and a luxurious fragrance. Long-lasting and high-impact.
- ‘Souvenir du Docteur Jamain’
A vintage favourite with deep velvety petals and a crumpled, romantic look. Its claret-red blooms smell as good as they look—and they’re surprisingly durable once cut.
- ‘Iceberg’
The ultimate white rose for cutting. Reliable, prolific, and easy to grow, ‘Iceberg’ produces pure white blooms non-stop. And the best part? The more you cut, the more it flowers.
