            Beautiful free flowering rose

            Arrived in beautiful condition

            Having seen this rose in various videos I was so excited to bring it into my own garden. Arrived in perfect condition, it was actually taller than the box but placed in a way that meant the rose wasn’t broken upon arrival. It had some buds ready and my first few flowers are starting to open up. Been in the ground 2 weeks and has already grown a couple inches too! Can’t wait to watch this one grow!
