A Rose Garden in Full Bloom

Nestled within old stone walls, Barney and Victoria’s enchanting rose garden is a haven for florists seeking beautifully scented, heirloom blooms. What began with annuals and perennials has flourished into a space dominated by old roses—pre-1920 varieties with romantic French names—alongside exquisite David Austin roses. The roses are renowned for their generous stems-perfect for dramatic floral arrangements.

I always love visiting Stokesay Flowers and catching up with Victoria and Barney and photographing their amazing cut flower garden—the layers of color, texture, and fragrance make it a magical experience!

If you are looking to cultivate your own roses, Victoria has written a book filled with expert tips and favorite varieties, sharing the joy of these exquisite flowers.
