Written by the company
The Harkness nursery had its origins in 1879 in Yorkshire, soon becoming well-known as a grower of top quality roses. It was 80 years later that Jack Harkness began breeding new varieties in Hitchin, determined to create new and ever-more beautiful roses. Today, Harkness Roses are known & grown world-wide; we believe their reliability, flowering performance and beauty are second to none.

I knew it was nurserymans choice of roses but I expected the name of each rose to be on them when they arrived. I don't even know if they are shrub, climbing or rambling roses.
October 13, 2026
Reply from Harkness Roses
Hello,
Thank you for your feedback. We appreciate you bringing this labeling issue to our attention.
The nurseryman's choice is a mystery choice and these are not labelled in order to keep the rose a mystery. They are a mystery even to us. However, we understand your point about not knowing what type of rose it is and we're looking into this internally to see if there's a way we can obtain this information.
