    I believe I got mine from Screwfix. Worth a look.

    I asked Yorkshire Trading and they said the rose is fixed. Shame as nice looking can. I will check out Screwfix- thanks!

    Crocus do one, a bit on the expensive side though.

    Haws do a galvanised can with a replaceable brass rose.

    I'm intrigued as to why you need a watering can with a non-removable rose?
    I can't recall ever seeing such a can and I can't imagine it would be easy to manufacture such a can.

    I have a galvanized can with a removable rose.
    Every so often the rose gets a bit blocked with bits, so I unscrew it, shake the bits out and put it back on.
    With a fixed rose I'd imagine it would get blocked eventually - how would you clean it of debris?

    I don't often use the rose on my watering can (only occasionally for trays/pots of seedlings, and even then I prefer to water from below by standing them in a tray of water for a while) so I can't see why they make them with fixed-on roses, unless it's because someone thinks that's what looks nice. I suppose if people keep buying them, they'll keep making them.

    @Pete.8, that's how l read it as well , the one l found was like that. The OP means one that you can unscrew, not one that's "unscrewable"😊
