A Fond Farewell & New Beginnings

After 20 wonderful years of trading, it’s time for me to say goodbye as I retire and close the doors of Roger Parsons Sweet Peas. I want to take this moment to thank all my loyal customers who have supported me throughout the years – your trust and love for sweet peas have made this journey incredibly special!

Though this chapter is closing, my passion for sweet peas continues! I’m thrilled to be working in collaboration with English Sweet Peas and I will still be actively breeding new sweet peas varieties. I look forward to having a bit more time for showing sweet peas too.

I’m excited for the future as we work together in this new venture, and I strongly encourage all of you to continue supporting English Sweet Peas for your sweet pea seeds.

Thank you again for being part of this amazing journey. Here’s to new beginnings!

This will be my last social media post to this page but do follow English Sweet Peas for future updates!

‼️ BIG NEWS ‼️
We are thrilled to announce that we are joining forces with English Sweet Peas.

As I look to step back from my retail business and National Collection responsibilities, Phil Johnson at English Sweet Peas has negotiated the purchase of my business and the transition of the National Collection.

We see this very much as a coming together of the businesses as there is great synergy between the two. So, a continuation of business as usual rather than a takeover.

I will continue my breeding work and join English Sweet Peas as an advisor.

You will be pleased to know that Fran, my daughter has agreed to take on a significant role with English Sweet Peas, so you will still be available to call for help and advice.

Phil has said ‘Roger Parson’s contribution to the world of Sweet Peas has been immense, a recognised global authority on the subject. We hope to continue and develop Roger’s work.’

Exciting times in the world of Sweet Peas!

Look out for more announcements in the coming weeks

The 2nd of our 2025 Novelties to be released is ‘Ada Marie’. I am sure you will agree that it is an extremely beautiful and unusual colour for an early flowering variety. It has Spencer flower form and excellent scent with well placed blooms on long stems. The midnight blue flowers against the dark green foliage is really quite stunning.

Named by Marryn Mathis after her much loved Grandma.

** NEW VARIETY * *
We are excited to announce the first of six new varieties. This is ‘Beverly Ann’, an absolutely prolific flowering pale blue. It boasts long stems with large, well placed spencer flowers. This variety is early flowering so perfect for cut flower growers and we expect this variety to be very popular!

Historically this is one of our most popular sellers, Gwendoline. It is popular for good reason. Always reliable, excellent colour and flower placement with matching excellent strong scent. Very successful on the show bench too. New season seed available now so don’t miss out on this beautiful variety.
