Red Roses, village in Carmarthenshire, Wales, United Kingdom
Red Roses is a small village in south-western Carmarthenshire surrounded by farmland and quiet country roads. It has a community centre built in 2008 on the site of a former Methodist chapel, plus several holiday parks offering caravan accommodation.
The village takes its name from the red moor landscape and was long part of the Eglwyscummin community. In 2014 a bypass road was built around the village to divert traffic from the old A477, improving safety at what had been a dangerous junction.
The Welsh name Rhos-goch means 'red moor', reflecting the area's farming roots and heritage. Welsh language is still spoken by older residents, and local traditions remain important to the community.
Access is easiest via the A477 or B4314 roads, with parking available on street verges or at the community centre. Visitors should note there are no shops or restaurants in the village itself, though nearby towns provide food and accommodation options.
The village sits at a historic road junction where the A477 and B4314 meet - a traffic crossroads once known for accidents. Diverting main traffic around it transformed the place into a quiet spot while it remains an important link between Pembrokeshire's coast and the inland areas.
