Special Anniversary – Standard Rose (1m Stem)
Grown on a clear 1 metre stem to the graft point, this standard rose creates an instant focal point with a beautiful lollipop crown of flowers elevated above border level. Standards are supplied in a 12 litre pot – ready to plant and display immediately. A permanent stake is essential and should be installed at planting time.
Special Anniversary is a Hybrid Tea rose made expressly for marking the most important moments in life – and as a 1m standard, it arrives ready to gift, plant, and treasure immediately. Its flowers are enormous, a rich, warm magenta-pink of great vibrancy and depth, carried with a heavy, romantic fragrance that fills the surrounding air. Repeat-flowering generously from June to autumn, Special Anniversary grows more beautiful and established with each passing year – just like the relationship it celebrates.

Cutting – the enormous blooms are magnificent in arrangements
✂️ Pruning Guide
Prune in late February. Cut back all stems in the crown by half to two thirds, always cutting to an outward-facing bud to maintain an open, well-shaped head. Remove any dead, diseased, or crossing stems completely. Standards benefit from deadheading through the season to encourage continuous flowering.
🌱 Planting & Care
Plant in well-prepared soil enriched with organic matter. Standards require a strong, permanent stake installed at planting time – the stake should reach the graft union at the top of the stem. Tie the stem at two points with proper tree ties. We recommend Empathy Rootgrow mycorrhizal fungi at planting. Water regularly during the first growing season. Feed with a specialist rose fertiliser in spring and again after the first flush.

Shipping & Returns
Delivery cost £3.49 per order. Delivery 2-3 working days.
For Standard Roses, we use DX or DPD for delivery.
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.
How will my rose arrive
We have specially designed boxes to ensure any roses bought from us will travel safely to your home.
Our new crop of 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. We feel that sending 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.
How to care for Roses
All our roses arrive with our helpful rose care leaflet.

I am most impressed by Henry Street.
My neighbour recommended them.
The plants arrived quickly and any delays etc were communicated most efficiently.
Very nicely packaged but easy to unbox - always the downside of shopping online. Beautifully done.
Immediately, at first glance, fabulous quality and bigger and sturdier than was expecting. Not planted yet as am having my garden completely redone but am watering and spraying in their pots and all seems well. Just waiting for the landscapers to set their planting date. In short - if I had been at a specialist nursery these would have been the stock I would have selected myself. 10/10
I received my ‘ Loving. Memory’ rose promptly. It was a large, healthy and had some small buds so I am looking forward to to seeing the flowers. I am very pleased thank you.
Bought as a Special Anniversary gift. The recipients say it looks stunning and that it has a fantastic scent. So easy to order on line and have delivered too.
