Precious Roses Collection

The Precious Roses Collection have a floribunda flower form and a neat rounded shape. Glossy leaves mean these roses are brimming with health. Happy in a pot but most happy at home in bold colourful blocks – a favourite amongst traditional rose lovers. Four beautiful varieties make up the range: , , Ruby and .

These plants are lifted from the nursery field when dormant, and sent to you in late autumn or spring for planting. They often look dead on arrival, but they are just resting in the dormant period and will establish quickly for a strong start in the garden come spring. Set out in prepared soil in holes wide enough and deep enough to lay out the roots. Tread down the planting soil to knock out air pockets. Water well to settle. Apply a mulch to protect roots from cold temperatures. If conditions prevent immediate planting, set roughly into loose soil or a pot of compost (‘heeling in’) to protect the roots. Set these at the same level as they were in the nursery field – you should see a soil line at the base of the stem. Stake trees, taller shrubs and roses to prevent root disturbance.
