As the growing season begins to draw to a close, the appearance of our roses will naturally vary from variety to variety. Some may still arrive with buds and blooms, while others may have been pruned, deadheaded or had some of their foliage removed as we begin to prepare them for the months ahead.
Please don’t be concerned if your rose arrives with no leaves, or without buds or blooms. This is quite natural at this time of year and helps the plant put its energy into establishing strong, healthy roots, ready to flourish when growth begins again.
