Perfectly packaged and no mishaps in the delivery. Thank you
Arrived covered in flowers and buds. Smells amazing. Looks amazing. Been thinking about buying a special rose for ages and finally did. So happy.
This rose is just stunning and smells amazing!
Was really looking forward to arrival, however, flowers had fallen off but there was plenty of buds.
This is by far the most beautiful white rose I’ve ever grown.
