Customer Reviews
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.
I have 3 Scarborough Fair roses in a border with silver birch, hydrangeas and geraniums. These roses compliment the the wildlife friendly scheme perfectly, with the delicare flowers providing food for pollinators. All of my "Austin" roses are healthy and robust. I would say every garden should have quality a rose!
