Pinchbeck Rose Growers in Guilford CT is open again as Roses for Autism! Probably the only commercial rose grower left in all of New England, Pinchbeck closed its doors this summer due to low cost South American competition. A great combination of CT Grown, Ability Beyond Disability employment and local entrepreneurial spirit has the greenhouse back in business. It’s worth the trip to see the world largest greenhouse — it’s over a half a mile long. You can also order on-line.

The roses are cut fresh, have incredible aroma and last longer than any I’ve ever imagined - and with every purchase you support a great cause.

Congratulations to Greco for winning the High Hopes Horse of the Year Honors!Greco was born in 1983 and then imported to the U.S. He is a 16.1-hand chestnut Oldenburg gelding. Shown successfully in Grand prix dressage, he has earned a U.S. Dressage Federations gold medal.
