    A Note from Our Rose Experts
    Due to popular demand, we are offering a limited number of this classic rose, available exclusively online.

    As part of our commitment to transparency with our customers, we want to be clear about its performance. While cherished for its unique character, this variety does not offer the same level of disease resistance or vigorous repeat-flowering found in our more modern introductions.

    For this reason, we ask that you please think carefully before buying to ensure it is the right choice for your garden. We encourage you to explore our newer, more resilient varieties, which have been bred for exceptional all-round garden performance.

      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.
