The remarkable Butterfly Rose boasts exceptional health and nonstop blooms throughout summer and Autumn. These single, fragrant flowers transform from honey-yellow to orange, then mature to a stunning cerise red. Thriving even in imperfect soil, this rose shines as a hedge or container plant. While it can reach 6ft+, it often stays more compact. True to its name, the blooms resemble butterflies on the branches.

Shipping & Returns
Delivery cost £3.49 per order. Delivery 2-3 working days.
We use DPD for all our Bush rose deliveries & DX Freight for all standard roses, upon dispatch you will receive an email confirming your rose has been shipped and providing you updates through delivery confirming estimated time of arrival.
Unfortunately due to updated plant health requirements following Brexit we are only able to ship to Mainland (including Isle of White) UK excluding Northern Ireland.
Our standard delivery is 1 - 3 days from point of order although may be extended in busy periods. We do not post roses on Fridays. As our roses are live plants we sometimes delay sending in extreme cold or heat to avoid them perishing due to extended delivery times.
Standard Roses are dispatched on Tuesdays only due the size of boxes.
Bare root roses on pre-order will be dispatched in the Autumn / Winter, any orders placed not on pre-order will be dispatched on a Tuesday.
How will my rose arrive
We have specially designed boxes to ensure any roses bought from us will travel safely to your home.
Bare root roses are dispatched between October and February each year. We do allow pre-orders of bare root roses and will send them out once the stock is ready. It may be the case that some orders are fulfilled earlier than others depending on which varieties were on order.
Our new crop of potted roses are dispatched from October and will arrive as newly potted bare root plants. These are ok to be planted out straight away or you can wait till the rose has started rooting in and plant in the spring. Sending out these potted roses ensures you receive the best product as the rose remains well in moist compost through the journey and when planting you have a pot of our special blend of compost to get your rose off to the best of start.
In spring our roses will still be very small to look at but will have rooted into the pot and will be showing strong young growth.
May - September we will do our best to send out roses in flower or in bud but this will depend on the growing season as we may have to cut back the plant to keep them healthy with fresh growth.

I have usually purchased from another on-line store but, like a number of other sites, roses were not available until September. I was a little concerned about purchasing in July form Henry Street therefore. I need not have worried, however, as the roses, which were destined for a new bed, arrived promptly and more importantly health. Both types have already started flowering.
I bought this beautiful rose for a friend's birthday
I bought this beautiful rose for a friend's birthday. I already had one and so many people have asked me what it is. The scent is stunning and the plant is so healthy it just wants to grow. I'd recommend this one over and over again. It was packed so carefully it was perfect when it arrived.
The rose arrived very quickly and was packed really well. There was no damage to the plant. It is now in situ and looks really healthy. I am very pleased with my purchase.
