During the summer months, we always aim to send your roses with a lovely mix of buds and blooms wherever possible. Please bear in mind that the stage and size of these will vary from variety to variety, and some plants may have been recently pruned or deadheaded to keep them looking their best. If your rose arrives without buds or blooms, there's no need to worry - we're right in the heart of the growing season, and there's plenty of time ahead for new blooms to appear.
