Our Story

Hello, I am Emily Cave, founder of Rosa Cheney.

Growing up, I always admired my parents' flower beds, dedicated to growing roses for cutting, and loved to spend time with my Grandmother deadheading. On moving to Dorset in 2009, I made sure there was room in our field to have an area devoted to growing roses, with natural charm, character and heady scent - so often lost in mass produced imported roses.

Over the years we have grown to love our core stock. We also enjoy trialling new varieties recommended by other growers and watching their performance in our Dorset soil so that our customers always have something new to try.

Rosa Cheney has become recognised in West Dorset as a source of naturally grown roses for seasonal flower lovers and florists. We gain immense pleasure in handing over buckets of roses and arrangements in locally sourced vases and jugs which are always received with a spontaneous smile.
