At Rose Cottage Plants, our inspiration is the traditional English cottage garden, its borders bursting with exuberant planting, abounding with health, vigour, colour and scent. At the heart of this romantic ideal are a myriad of hardy perennials and bulbous plants - dahlias, tulips, alliums, fritillaria amongst others – the specialisations of our farm nursery set in the Essex countryside. Here you will find an inspirational selection of the choicest plants – including many traditional border stalwarts as well as the new, the unusual and the rare. We grow only those plants we are passionate about and grow them well, to give the performance of their lives. The nursery is easily accessible from London and the surrounding counties but you can also see us at a number of Plant Fairs, Garden Shows & Farmers Markets. During 2012, the nursery will be open on most Fridays (10am - 5pm) and for special events which we will publicise here on the website. Please check or telephone before visiting in case we are not able to open on a specific Friday (usually due to shows). A fully illustrated, on-line Mail Order service is available, in spring & autumn, for dry bulbs. In spring, these include dahlia tubers, and in autumn, allium bulbs, fritillaria bulbs, tulip bulbs and narcissus bulbs, amongst many others. The Summer 2012 on-line catalogue is now open. Please click on Mail Order Bulb Shop to view further information, or Bulbs on-line to go directly to the Bulb collection. . Whatever your individual style of gardening, we hope that a visit to us will turn up some real treasures to enhance your own Eden.
