Roses are loved for their delicate beauty, stunning colour, and the fragrance of their blooms. Roses vary in size and shape, from compact shrubs with small flowers to tall climbers with large, vibrant colours; roses make an excellent focal piece in any garden.
As one of the first growers to introduce roses to the region, Sheridan Nurseries is proud to offer one of the largest selections of roses in southern Ontario.
The first entries of hardy roses into the Sheridan catalogue were the FJ Grootendorst red and pink varieties in 1924. Later in 1939, Sheridan trademarked six Hybrid Tea Rose varieties and continued cultivating new varieties well into the late 1940s.
By 1952, people were buying houses in the post-war era, and it was the beginning of the Baby Boom. Homeowners wanted gardens, and no garden was complete without roses. Sheridan was again at the forefront and began offering the newest “All American Rose Society Award Winners” varieties. The Sheridan Nurseries’ collection of roses has continued to grow and expand over our long company history. Today we offer over 60 varieties at our garden centres across the GTA.
