Little Rambler – Patio Climbing Rose
Little Rambler is an absolutely delightful compact climbing rose, perfectly proportioned for smaller gardens, patios, and even large containers. Its clusters of small, soft pink flowers – up to 20 blooms per stem, packed in old-fashioned rosette form – appear in lavish profusion throughout the season, creating an abundance of colour and a gentle sweet fragrance.
At around 2.1 metres, Little Rambler can clothe a small arch or trellis beautifully, or be grown in a large container on a patio where its cascading habit looks especially charming.

✂️ Pruning Guide
Prune in February, cutting side laterals back to 2–3 buds and training main structural canes in a fan shape against your support. Deadhead through summer to encourage further flushes into autumn.
🌱 Planting & Care
Plant in well-prepared garden soil or a large container (minimum 40 litres) with quality compost. Use Empathy Rootgrow at planting. Feed monthly with a liquid rose fertiliser through the growing season. Deadhead spent clusters to encourage more flowers.

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.
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.

Good service good rose
The rose arrived promptly and was in great condition (always a worry when buying plants online). I’ve only just planted it so it’s too soon to know how it performs.
Rose arrived promptly and is in excellent condition. Seems to be growing well, with buds appearing even though it still hasn't made it to its final spot and is still in the delivery pot. I really wanted to plant in a pot but the size required is rather large and wouldn't be any good for positioning so back to the drawing board picking a lovely position for it.
All the roses arrived, well packed and looking very healthy
