Cants of Colchester (England 1765 – 2023)
Cants have been working with roses since 1850s, becoming world class rose exhibitors. In the 20th century rival firms, but later mergers, Frank and Ben Cants, introduced the majority of their colourful roses. Sadly after 250 years the nursery stopped trading in 2023, although a lot of their introductions are still in circulation today. Angela from the team continues to work hard within the rose industry, promoting UK grown roses and running findthatrose, her long loved passion.
