In summer months containerised roses must be watered daily to ensure good health and maximum blooms. If it is frosty when you receive them, they should not come to any harm left unopened in their package for up to one week. Uncle Tom's® Rose Tonic is translocated rapidly to all parts of the plant, through both leaves and roots, and delivers the essential elements of phosphorus and potassium, swiftly to where they are most needed.

Our Diamond Wedding Anniversary gift celebrates this joyful accomplishment with a lifetime supply of beautiful anniversary roses. Much of the bare root planting instructions also apply for a rose bought in a container, with the first inch or so of the branches below soil level, and the hole wide enough for the root ball. In spring prune down to good, strong, outward facing buds to produce an open wine glass shaped frame, to allow lots of light and air movement into and around the plant.Rose Diamond is also a popular choice, masses of tiny white flowers throughout summer, perfect for the patio. Aftercare: Roses benefit from a mulch of organic material, around the base of the plant afterplanting. We recommend using a good quality compost, like John Innes No 3, especially if planting roses into pots.

Once this is done the surface soil may be tidied and the rose labelled, there is nothing more annoying than not knowing the name of a beautiful rose. Gift Bag: Select a reusable drawstring bag in the colour of your choice, to really make your gift stand out. Bare root roses are dormant plants; throughout winter, the plants are effectively sleeping, making it possible for the rose to be almost entirely cut back. If it remains frosty for longer than this open the package and, after thoroughly moistening the roots, place the roses still in their bundle in a container of damp soil or damp sand. We will print it on our gift tag for free, or choose to upgrade to a bespoke card for an extra charge.With gorgeous Cream blooms and a Rich Perfume fragrance, this rose will bloom in celebration for years to come. Even the most rampant of ramblers will benefit from this treatment as it encourages basal growth, from which the plant will make its shape. The Diamond Wedding Rose - Diamond 60th Anniversary Gift makes a wonderful eco-friendly gift that will bloom for years to come. It has a wonderfully strong, sweet fragrance on upright healthy growth, which repeat blooms from June to late autumn. If you purchase roses in a container during the winter months, it will be similar to the bare root rose in a sense there will be little foliage.

What better way to celebrate a 60th wedding anniversary than with the incredible Diamond Wedding Rose!The rich ruby red flowers will enchant all who see them, as it blooms in the garden for years to come. Nestled alongside the rose is a personalised slate plant stake engraved with their names and those very special dates. All summer long the stunning white flowers will bloom brightly in celebration, seemingly sparkling in the sunshine. We take care to be as sustainable as possible here at English Roses, and so avoid single use plastics at all costs. Alternatively, you can keep the rose in the original pot for a couple of months, and the root will begin to grow with the container before being planted, but you must water the pot.
