Bare root

With the spring sunshine finally reaching the garden, now is the perfect time to check in on your newly planted bare root roses. They're just beginning to settle in, and the care you give them over the next few weeks will make all the difference to how well they grow and bloom this summer.

Cortisol, the body’s primary stress hormone, is essential for managing the body’s fight or flight response. However, the pressures of modern life have led to persistently high cortisol levels for many, contributing to exhaustion, anxiety, and burnout. The increasing pressures of modern life – work demands, digital overload, and rising living costs - have left many searching for ways to bring calm into their daily routines.

There is an elegance in simplicity, an honesty in working with nature rather than against it. Planting bare root roses is a return to this way of gardening, a method that has stood the test of time. Before plastic pots, before garden centres lined their shelves with ready-made plants, this was how roses were grown: lifted from the field in winter, their roots exposed to the air, then carefully wrapped and sent to gardeners who knew the best things take time.

As the leaves fall from the trees leaving branches bare, we know autumn is upon us and with it the bare stems of bare root roses.
