Groves Rose Festival 2026
Celebrating Roses at Groves: A Summer of Colour, Fragrance & 160 Years of Growing
This year is a very special one for us as we celebrate 160 years of Groves, and what better way to mark it than with one of our most loved plants – the rose.
Picture a classic British summer garden and roses are at its heart, bringing colour, fragrance and timeless beauty. From hybrid teas and floribundas to climbers, ramblers, shrubs and compact patio varieties, there truly is a rose for every garden. We’re also proud stockists of the stunning David Austin roses, celebrated for their exquisite blooms and unforgettable scent.
At Groves, roses are a 
true speciality. Each year we grow over 5,000 plants across more than 100 carefully selected varieties, all nurtured in peat-free compost, giving you strong, healthy plants perfectly suited to UK gardens.
To celebrate, join us for our Rose Festival, 13th-21st June 2026. Explore our dedicated rose area and follow the rose trail to discover how different varieties can transform your garden. Our team will be on hand to offer expert, practical advice to help you choose the perfect rose.
You’ll find the full range at Groves Bridport, with a smaller selection at Little Groves, Beaminster, or shop online for click & collect or home delivery.
