In the professional world of rose growing, any rose that is budded/grafted at ground level onto a Rootstock is classed as a bush rose, this also includes Climbing & Rambling roses.

Bareroot roses are supplied as dormant or semi-dormant field-lifted plants with roots bare between November and March.
Potted Roses are available to buy and plant all year round and supplied in a recently planted, part rooted or fully rooted stage depending on the time of year ordered.

Advantages of Bareroot Roses: Cheaper to buy, less attention is needed for successful establishment once planted in the final position, less watering is required if planted November to January

Advantages of Potted Roses:  Can be planted all through the year, instant colour in the garden during flowering months, can be kept in the pot supplied for up to 9 months if not ready to plant with regular watering, ideal to give as a gift.

All of our bush and climbing roses are in a 5.5 litre pot.
Standard Roses are in a 7.5 litre pot.

All of our roses are labelled with the variety name, a short description and a small colour picture.

Usually if ordered by November they will be received by the end of November, weather dependent.

If the rose is in stock on the nursery, dispatched in 1 to 2 working days, usually on a next-day service, although this is not a guaranteed service.

If the rose is a pre-order rose it will state when the rose is pre-ordered.

Foliage turning yellow is a very strong indicator of severe stress to your roses, but is something that can easily be rectified in most cases and in nearly all cases the result of one of the following reasons:
Lack of Light – Poor planting position, choose an area that gets half a days full sun.
Ensure surrounding plants are not too close and blocking direct sunlight.
Upper branches on roses are blocking light to branches below (pruning required)
Lack Of Water – Always ensure the ground around your roses is water-moist.
Lack of Feed – Feed Your roses twice a year (3 times in a container) between April and Mid July with a good handful of granular Empathy Biofertiliser Rose Food, lightly sprinkled around the base of each rose.
Uncle Tom’s Tonic is also an excellent pick me up for roses when applied to roses as a soil and foliage and root drench when these symptoms occur and we have had countless comments from customers about how well this product has worked, applying 5lts of water mixed with 50ml of Uncle Tom’s Tonic per rose using a watering can with a rose head connection on the spout

Always use a John Innes #3 soil-based compost, commonly available from Garden Centres and DIY stores to plant a garden rose into a container. Soil based composts also retain water better than others, providing longer periods of moisture to the root system of the planted rose. Never use general purpose or wood-based composts as the roses will grow & perform badly and very likely die in the first or early years.

Garden roses need to be outside at all times unless very severe winter with day and night freezing temperatures below -5°C persist.

If being grown in containers then ideally they should be covered with bubble wrap around the base of the rose and pot or moved to a cold, frost-free area like a garage or shed until normal winter weather returns, normal night frosts to -5°C are not a problem for roses outdoors.

Leaving your potted garden roses in a house or heated area will lead to long, elongated unnatural growth, die-back on stems, rose diseases, severe attacks from greenfly, whitefly and houseplant pests even in winter months and ultimately the very likely death of your rose in a short period of time.

Roses with little or no thorns (e.g Rosa Banksia, Abracadabra, etc) planted directly outdoors can be also prone to greater frost damage during periods of severe winter weather and we recommend planting these varieties in sheltered and non-exposed positions, if severe winter day and night freezing weather (Beast from the East) takes place we recommend again bubble wrapping or adding straw around the base of the rose and stems whilst the severe weather persists.

Deep snow is usually a good thing for roses as it offers a layer of frost free protection to the basal stems helping to keep the soil at warmer safer temperatures for the rose.
