Harkness has over onehundred-and-twentyfive years of experience in rose breeding, and 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; run by Philip and Robert Harkness.
