Customer Reviews
We have a number of DA roses in our garden and they are all show stoppers however this poor little thing looks sad, does not match the quality of DA roses, a number of the branches have died already and only 1 or 2 blooms since planting in early spring this year. I absolutely love DA roses however I would look at other varieties if you are looking to purchase a small pink rose.
This is my favourite pink rose. It's very floriferous, has a lovely scent, and is popular with pollinators. The rose I received is very bushy and healthy.
I love this rose, it is stunning. It has a luminescence to it in the sunshine. It attracts many pollinators which is so important to me. It is now in its 2nd year in a pot and is bushing out nicely. It has a lovely scent to.
Bought 3 after seeing how good they looked at Albrighton, but was still surprised here when they never seemed to stop flowering. Individually they may not look terribly special, but en masse they are superb and have rapidly become one of my favourites. In December I had to insist that they took a rest, and removed a few shoots that were still doing their best to flower.
Nothing wrong with the product itself and the delivery was prompt and as expected
However the flowers arrived in a box bashed to smitherines... The soil was everywhere.
Since it was a gift for my mum and I was at her house when it arrived I just accepted the delivery because the plant itself looked OK at least. Just in desperate need of immediate attention. Very embarrassing and wouldn't consider ordering again if this is the state things are going to arrive in.
