Only Roses is privately owned by Anian and Sabine and its first retail store opened in September 2007 on Old Brompton Road, Earls Court, London. If you've passed by this fragrant rose specialist shop you'll most likely have been attracted by the delicate petals scattered on the street outside the shop window.

Beautifully presented roses are set against the shop's black painted brick walls which creates a dramatic backdrop. Clustered together in single colour groups - reds, pinks and whites – they are raised on wooden plinths and prices chalked up on a blackboard. Well worth a visit to take in the heavenly scent. They offer the biggest selection of the freshest Ecuadorian roses in the UK, in many different varieties, colours, shapes and sizes - up to 1.80 meters tall. Only Roses buy their roses directly from four Ecuadorian farms, which all work to the highest ethical (social, labour and environmental) standards. To ensure this standard our suppliers are all certified by the German Flower Label Program (www.flp.com).

Moreover, they fully offset their carbon footprint by running a reforestation program in the Ecuadorian Province of Chimborazo. In fact, they offset double the amount of CO2 they cause.
