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.

Beautifully presented and full information.
Excellent rose
Good quality plant, decent size arriving on time without damage. Unusual these days.
Was a gift for my husband it’s beautiful healthy plant lots of buds on it so happy with it thank you
Absolutely stunning rose, lots of blooms and quick delivery
Beautiful rose, I would highly recommend. I was absolutely delighted with this rose. It was healthy and had lots of buds when delivered.
My ‘Special Friend’ is delighted with her rose which arrived in good health, planted in a pot as described. However, there was no further information enclosed so she had no idea who sent it to her or why, nor was there a label, photograph or description of the rose in the package. Since the name of the rose was the whole point of my gift on this occasion, it would have been nice if my friend could have been made aware what was in the box & who the sender was.
Very pleased with these 3 patio roses. Bought for a client and was pleased to find 3 very healthy, good sized plants covered in blooms and buds. Will order from you again.
Ordered not quite knowing what would to expect but I shouldn’t have worried. Plant arrived and was beautiful. Lots of the buds were in bloom and many more still to flower. A lovely gift for a ‘special friend’. Came with information on how best to care for the plant which was very useful. I would have no worries about ordering from the company again. Excellent communication and product.
