✂️ Pruning Guide
Prune in late February. For a compact, bushy plant, hard prune all main stems back to around 15 cm (6 inches) above the bud union – this produces strong new growth and the best flower size. For a larger, more established plant with greater spread, prune back by approximately half instead, removing any dead, diseased, or crossing stems. Either way, always cut to an outward-facing bud to maintain an open shape. Deadhead spent flowers through summer to encourage continuous repeat-flowering into autumn.
🌱 Planting & Care
Plant in well-prepared soil enriched with organic matter, or in a quality compost-filled container (minimum 25 litres for patio varieties). We recommend adding Empathy Rootgrow mycorrhizal fungi at planting. Water regularly during the first growing season and feed with a specialist rose fertiliser in spring and after the first flush.

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.

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.
This was a gift for a bereaved friend, who thought it was beautiful and was very pleased with it.
Delivered very quickly and with care.
Excellent and efficient service. Very professional.
Ordered as a gift for my uncle in memory of my lovely aunt. He was delighted with the rose bush. Not currently in bloom but he said it looks a really healthy plant(he has lots of experience with rose growing so he would know!). Hopefully will produce some beautiful blooms
The rose was for a friend who had just lost his wife. He said it will always be known as her rose.
Beautiful rose bush bought it in memory of my uncle Graham
