A blooming marvellous family business continues to grow roses which are sold all across the UK.

Dad-of-two William Ferguson, 52, works on the family farm which has been passed down through four generations after it was founded in the 1890s.

The roses are sold in garden centres from Wick, to Penzance, Cornwall.

The eight-acre farm in Kincardine, Fife, has 120,000 plants of all shades of the colour spectrum.
