Customer Reviews
So glad I ordered direct such a healthy good size cannot fault
I've been planting gardens gor 30 years, but never roses. I bought Bathsheba gor my front garden arch. The potted plant was hands down the best quality specimen I've ever bought. Worth every penny. The cultivar itself is spectacular in every way. Thank you DA.
I was quite concerned about the position I had to plant my bare root in as it's very shady north facing. I have to say she is growing better than those on the southside. And no blackspot or aphids in sight. Very pleased so far. Might need to get a bit higher to flower. I think she is striving to reach the sun. 😊
I ordered this directly from David Austen Roses and when it arrived it was fine.
However after planting directly into a 40 cm plant pot it has failed to grow and produce flowers.
Don’t know what I have done wrong.
Very disappointed
Bought a bare root one. After one year, it barely grew compared to 2 potted ones purchased separately which are striving (different types). It was well looked after with plenty of compost, sunny spot, well watered in the summer months and fertilised to promote growth. Yet it is barely 14 inch high with very thin stems with no Autumn cut back being so small already ... David Austin tells me to wait and use more fertiliser but my view is that bare foot is a gamble. If you want 100% rapid success, opt for the potted plant. As an experienced gardener, I will of course continue to nurture it but I am most disappointed.
