Is it a good rose for gifting
Yes, it is often chosen for its gentle colour and meaning.
Will it flower in the first year
Yes.
Does it need pruning
Yes, prune in late winter or early spring.
Plant towards the back of borders with calming companion plants such as Nepeta or ornamental grasses.
Our roses are supplied planted in a 4L growers pot with compost and are not sold as bare root. The compost contains enough feed for around 4 months. Roses are dormant from November to March, so although they are sent in pots, they may not yet have rooted into the compost. When planting, the compost may fall away from the roots, this is completely normal and will not harm the plant.
If you prefer not to plant straight away, roses can be left in their pots until March, by which time they will have rooted. If kept in pots, water more frequently.
Roses are carefully pruned during the colder months to encourage strong, healthy growth in spring, so plants may arrive smaller than expected. New growth will appear in spring and plants will grow at least 50cm in their first year.
Images are for illustrative purposes only. Due to seasonality and plant maturity, plants may not arrive looking exactly like the images shown.
