Ross started his horticultural career under John Ravenscroft at Bridgemere Nursery. Following on from various roles in retail and production horticulture, he moved on to David Austin Roses – then on to Hodnet Hall Gardens where he stayed for 15 years, rising to the position of Head Gardener.

A period as Head Gardener at Goldstone Hall Hotel and Gardens took him to his current role as Head Gardener at The Dorothy Clive Gardens. Alongside this, he has served as a Trustee for the Willoughbridge Garden Trust for five years – and is also a Trustee for Hodnet 2000 (a local educational charity) as well as serving as a local Parish Councillor. Ross is married with two children and in his spare time is also an on-call firefighter for Shropshire Fire and Rescue Service.
