Potted
Potted roses are supplied in 4.7L recycled pots, including our own composed potting mix. Roses can be shipped dormant, bud stage or in flower, depending on the variety and time of delivery. They make excellent gifts and are ideal for those not willing to wait for next winter to add a rose to their garden.
Potted roses can be sent anytime throughout the year.
Bare-Rooted
Bare root roses are shipped dormant without soil, flowers nor a pot or foliage. Once the plant has been removed from our fields they are washed free of soil and pruned before packing and shipping.
We start sending out bare rooted roses from May until July. We have finished sending bare rooted roses for the season. Only potted roses can be ordered and delivered to you.
