The British Rose is one of the best loved shrubs in our gardens. With such a large variety of colours, and some scented, why not send a distinctive British Rose Bush to celebrate such occasions as Special Anniversaries, Birthdays, Special Mum, Special Dad, Grandma/Grandad, Thank You or just because with the With Love Rose.
The Rose is planted in a 3.5 litre container with a descriptive label detailing the care instructions along with the celebration. The Roses have been pruned back to get ready for the new season

Roses will grow in almost any soil as long as it is well drained. We would advise putting some well-rotten manure into the planting area.
Roses are deep rooted so make sure you dig a deep enough hole - approximately twice as wide as the roots. If planting them in a container make sure the compost does not dry out by watering regularly. Feeding the roses is also a good option whether it be specific rose fertiliser or just a general purpose feed.
