Roseland Parc

Set in 7½ acres of wooded grounds, Roseland Parc offers much that makes Cornish gardens so special in spring. Magnolias, rhododendrons and over 80 named varieties of camellias thrive in this historic setting. Drifts of daffodils, crocus and hellebores vie for admiration with tree ferns, exotic tropical planting and ponds.

About Roseland Parc

There have been gardens at Roseland Parc for over 200 years, since the old house on site, Penlee, was built as a manse for the nearby St. Cuby’s church. The gardens probably reached their horticultural peak in the second half of the 19th century when they were sold to John Simpson Tyerman, a Kew trained horticulturist & former director of the Botanic gardens in Liverpool. During his retirement in Cornwall he continued his horticultural endeavours, collecting ferns, breeding rhododendrons & laying out the gardens at Kimberley Park, in Falmouth. The gardens went through various private hands after his death & the house was eventually turned into a nursing home in the late 1980’s. In 2007 the adjoining fields were purchased & a retirement village built with a Palm Garden as its centrepiece. The derelict walled garden was developed in 2017, the same year that the current head gardener arrived and the subsequent 6 years have seen efforts to restore the historic gardens while bringing together the new & old gardens into a more coherent whole. Bright borders of perennials, exotic planting and shaded pathways under mature trees are a few of the summer highlights.
