Sweet Memories – Patio Standard Rose (0.5m Stem)

Grown on a clear 0.5 metre stem to the graft point, this half-standard creates a delightful lollipop of blooms at just the right height for pots, patios, and low borders. Compact, charming, and easy to maintain, patio standards are supplied in a 12 litre pot ready to display immediately. A short, stout stake is essential.

Sweet Memories is a gently beautiful patio standard with a deeply meaningful name – the most tender and appropriate memorial rose for someone very dear. Its delicate, luminous yellow-cream blooms carry a light, pleasant fragrance and are produced repeat-flowering through the summer in a soft, poignant display. As a 0.5m half-standard, Sweet Memories sits at exactly the right height for a patio pot or special corner of the garden, flowering year after year as a living, beautiful remembrance.

🏡 Ideal For

  • Small gardens where a delicate, gentle focal point is wanted

✂️ 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 a generous container (minimum 30 litres) with quality compost, or in well-prepared garden soil. Half-standards require a stout stake reaching the graft point. Use Empathy Rootgrow at planting. Feed monthly through the growing season with a liquid rose fertiliser. Water consistently – containers dry out quickly in warm weather. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage further flushes.

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.

Our Rose Care pages are also a great place to look for advice on planting, pruning, feeding and caring for your roses.
