Title: Replacement rose for galvanised watering can
Post by: kelvinr2d2 on April 27, 2010, 08:01

I have a few old galvanised watering cans - all without roses!  Does anyone know where I can get a rose to fit these that isn't the standard rubber 'fits all' type. The spouts have threads on them and I would like something which looks like the original would have.

We have several galvo watering cans and none of the roses are interchangeable,the thread pitches and diameters differ on each so short knowing what they are you may have to take it to an old fashioned iron mongers or the like!

Google 'Haws watering Cans' they make a standard brass rose that will fit 3/4" thread spouts.  Cost about £5.00 link -  sales@birstall.com

Good luck,
