The Company
Apuldram Roses was started 30 years ago by Mrs D. R.
Sawday. It remains a specialist rose growing business and a small family run company. Apuldram
Roses believes in good, old fashioned customer service
and friendly helpful advice.
The Roses
Our roses are grown on farmland very near to Chichester
Harbour under the shadow of the magnificent Chichester
Cathedral.
We grow approximately 50,000 stocks and bud
over 350 different varieties. In the main we use a Rosa
Laxa Stock produced in Great Britain which we plant
in January or February, depending on the weather. We
bud during June of the same year.
This is when we decide
to keep or drop varieties and whether to introduce new
ones. We then leave them to grow under the watchful
eye of Jonathan. You can be assured the roses you receive hae been carefully nurtured by specialist rose growing team.
In January of the following year, the old roses are
headed back. This is when the top growth of the stock
is cut away, leaving only the bud of the new rose. We
then wait again until the red shoots of the new rose
appear.
By summer they are all blooming and we can see
if we have done a good job. October comes all too quickly
and the balmy sunshine, heady fragrance and colour of
the rose field gives way to Autumn wind, rain and mud.
It's time to lift the plants that we started 22 months
before and send them out to you.
