The nursery runs one of the largest rose breeding programmes in the world. Around 150,000 hand crosses are made each year, which produce about 400,000 seeds. From these about 250,000 seedlings will germinate. Each season, between four to six new David Austin English Roses will be released after nine years of trials.
