At David Austin Roses, our BLOOM initiative supports us to nurtures the future by making sustainable choices. One of the key ways we do this is by offering bare root roses, which are not only beautiful but also environmentally responsible.

1. Eco-Friendly

Bare root roses play a significant role in our BLOOM commitment to sustainability. By eliminating the need for heavy pots and soil, we reduce transportation emissions and packaging waste, making them a more environmentally responsible choice. Our mail order packaging also reflects this commitment—the bare roots arrive in a recyclable paper bag, and the internal "plastic" bag is made from potato starch, fully aligning with our goal of 100% recyclable packaging. Additionally, we have successfully eliminated black plastics, further enhancing our efforts to minimise environmental impact.

2. Cost-Effective

Without the added costs of soil and pots, bare root roses are more affordable, allowing you to enhance your garden without compromising on quality. They’re a budget-friendly option for gardeners who want to invest in high-quality roses while being mindful of their environmental impact.

3. Wider Variety

We offer a broader selection of rose varieties as bare root plants, giving you access to unique and rare roses that might not be available in potted form. This wider variety supports our goal of preserving diverse rose species, ensuring that our customers can choose from a rich array of options while also supporting sustainable gardening practices.

4. Natural and Effortless Planting

Bare root roses offer a more natural approach to gardening. Since they’re grown without heavy pesticide use, our customers can feel good knowing they’re receiving a robust plant that's less reliant on chemicals. This eco-friendly practice ensures that your roses start off strong and healthy, ready to thrive in your garden. Plus, their lighter weight makes them easier to handle and plant, so you can get them into the ground quickly and efficiently for a beautiful start to the growing season.

Choosing bare root roses is a simple yet impactful way to contribute to a healthier planet. Through our BLOOM initiative, we’re committed to offering products that are not only beautiful but also kind to the environment. By choosing bare root roses, you’re making a choice that supports sustainable gardening while enjoying the timeless beauty of our roses.
