A month of rose-inspired tours, workshops and special events
Throughout June, Borde Hill celebrates three decades of Jay Robin’s Rose Garden – a spectacular ‘garden room’ created in 1996 by RHS Gold Medal–winning designer Robin Williams and named after Jay Robin, daughter of fourth-generation custodians Andrewjohn and Eleni Stephenson Clarke.
During the celebrations, the Rose Garden will be at its most breathtaking, with more than 750 David Austin roses across 100 varieties filling the borders with colour and perfume. The Victorian Glasshouse will host a daily exhibition of rose-inspired paintings, alongside rarely seen archive material tracing the Rose Garden’s journey from its creation to the present day.
A curated programme of bookable experiences invites visitors to explore the world of roses more deeply – from weekly guided tours and creative workshops to special events, including a talk by leading rose expert Michael Marriott. The Gift Shop will extend the celebration with a selection of David Austin rose plants and rose-inspired treasures to take home.
