Rochfords International Rose Trials
The Royal National Rose Society in St Albans closed in May 2017 due to unmanageable financial burdens. One of the society’s major undertakings was the trialling of new seedling roses which came from many sources, both national and international. The loss of this work was keenly felt in the industry and as a result, we at Joseph Rochford Gardens Ltd. have re-established the work of seedling trials at our site in Birch Green, Hertfordshire. We are working to become a centre of excellence for rose trials and rose care in the UK by encouraging a wide range of people to engage in the world of roses.
This not-for-profit venture is part of Rochfords CSR commitment and we aim to include not only experts, but also the wider public and in particular, schools, colleges and horticultural societies.
