The Cornish Rose Company was established in 2006 as a result of Pococks Roses sending more roses to Cornwall than any other county. There is/was a common misconception that roses can’t be grown successfully in Cornwall because the air is too clean. This may have been true prior to the Clean Air Act of 1956, but as sulphur pollution is removed at source this is no longer the case.

 Therefore, we concentrate on growing the healthiest varieties that will tolerate the damp conditions of Cornwall. Bearing in mind that the sea is only 6 miles from our nursery, the roses have to cope with salt-laden winds and are therefore real toughies!
