A Whiter Shade of Pale | Hybrid Tea Rose | 4L Potted Rose

When is the best time to plant this rose
Roses can be planted most of the year as long as the ground is not frozen or waterlogged. Autumn and spring are ideal, but planting in summer is fine with regular watering.

Will it flower in its first year
Yes, you can expect flowers in the first year, with stronger performance as the plant establishes.

Does it need pruning
Yes. Prune in late winter or early spring to encourage strong new growth and better flowering.

Pair this soft pink rose with Nepeta, Salvia, and Geranium Rozanne for a gentle cottage feel, or weave through ornamental grasses for a lighter, more natural look.

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.
