FAQs
Does the plant arrive ready to plant?
Yes, it is supplied as an established rose in a 4-litre pot, ready for transplanting.
Can I keep the rose in the hessian bag?
The hessian is for decorative, gift-giving purposes and should be removed before planting in the ground or a larger container.
When does this rose bloom?
This is a later-flowering variety, typically blooming towards the latter part of the season.
How should I handle the long, willowy stems?
Plant the rose in a spot protected from wind, and use garden ties or a stake if the stems require extra stability.
How often should I water the rose?
Keep the soil consistently moist. During warm summer months, you may need to water every few days to prevent the pot from drying out.
Troubleshooting
Stems bending or snapping in wind
Relocate the plant to a more sheltered position or add a garden stake for structural support.
Flowers appearing smaller than expected
Ensure the plant is receiving adequate sunlight and consistent watering, especially during dry spells.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
When your rose arrives, remove the hessian wrapping before planting in your desired location to ensure proper root health. Choose a spot with well-drained soil and at least six hours of direct sunlight. Water regularly, ensuring the soil remains moist but not waterlogged. Feed with a balanced rose fertilizer during the active growing season. For ongoing care, remove spent blooms to encourage further development and prune in late winter to maintain a strong, healthy shape. Because of its long, thin stems, you may consider a discreet support stake if you live in an area prone to moderate breezes.
