We would never advise buying a pre-packed rose from a supermarket for you have no idea how long they have been packaged and may well have dried out. More advice on heeling in can be found within our planting advice pages and a full set of planting instructions will come with your rose. It is prudent in these conditions to prepare an area in which to heel in the roses. This can be difficult in times of heavy frost or snow. Bare root roses are obviously live plants so do need fairly immediate treatment upon arrival. Most roses planted during the bare root season will put out a great display of blooms the same year. Many established rose gardeners call this the peak time for purchasing and planting roses, as a rose planted in the winter has many months to put down a great root structure to support the blooms and the plant for years to come. Throughout the winter months, from November to March, the roses are dormant and can be cut back and safely handled in bare root form.
Containerised roses are usually available for delivery within 3 - 5 days unless otherwise stated. The advantage of buying a rose in a pot is that you can select the plant yourself during a visit to our nursery and gardens, giving you the opportunity to see the rose in flower prior to purchasing. In summer months containerised roses must be watered daily to ensure good health and maximum blooms. This is to give the roots system a chance to establish without damaging the young fibrous roots. If purchasing a container rose early in the year it is advisable to wait until early June before planting out into the garden. There is little between them as far as the ultimate plant is concerned, but there are advantages and disadvantages to both.Ĭontainerised roses are available throughout the year (although there are more available during the summer months) and are roses that we have planted into containers during the winter months when the plants are dormant.
Like most plants, Roses were first sold in pots to fulfil the demands of the instant gardener, but the traditional method of supply is as bare root plants in the winter months, often by mail order. Please email your enquiry to Root or Container Unfortunately, our online INTERNATIONAL & NORTHERN IRELAND delivery service is temporarily suspended. More a collector's piece than of real garden merit. Perfumed, blush white flowers, striped or mottled with pink.
