Michael Fermor is the Director at Rumwood Nurseries & Garden Centre in Kent, a fellow independent business and the best rose growers in the South East!
With a beautiful garden centre boasting a broad range of high-quality products including plants, trees, shrubs, flowers and pots alongside a delectable coffee shop, we highly recommend a visit to any green fingered gardener.
“I joined Rumwoods over ten years ago because I found the process of rose growing really fascinating, there are so many different and unique varieties you never stop learning about them. What other job can you come home from smelling of roses?”
As Kent’s largest and best grower of Roses, they also specialise in mail order deliveries – a service that they have been operating for over 50 years. It comes as a no surprise that over this time they have built up a vast catalogue of beautiful roses available for us to purchase.
Michael is a massive advocate of The Golden Boot. “Rumwood Nurseries & Garden Centre is a local business originally set up by my Grandad, who still loves to get involved! I work alongside my Dad and Uncle, it’s a family affair and we love to support other local independent businesses like the Golden Boot.”
If you required any further proof Michael recently married his best friend, Charlotte, in comfort and style wearing his favourite brand R. M. Williams, fitted and purchased from our shop in Maidstone. (Shoes and belts pictured)

When asked the ultimate question, Michael told us that his favourite rose this year is aptly ‘it’s a wonderful life’ and we couldn’t think of a more inspiring answer.
Our R. M. Williams Chinchilla boots are a limited edition style, painted by hand and available in two colours – Bordeaux and Cognac. Each pair is completely unique. Get them before they go!
