In the summer months, we aim to send roses with buds and blooms whenever possible. Please note that bud/bloom stages and size will differ for each variety, and may have pruned/deadheaded recently to maintain a beautiful plant. If there aren't any buds or blooms present, please don't worry as we are in the middle of the growing season with plenty of time for them to appear.
Dark Desire Rose
Dark Desire rose is an incredible hybrid tea variety. The deep violet buds open into large, old-fashioned-shaped purple-red flowers, which are eye-catching and beautiful. Their powerful scent is rich and heady, sweet with hints of fruits, honey and myrrh. Semi-glossy, dark green bushy foliage frames the stunning blooms, creating an incredible display.
With excellent disease resistance, including to mildew and blackspot, this is a very healthy variety. Upright and vigorous, it would be ideal for planting at the back of borders or beds. Dark Desire rose would also be incredible in large pots or containers near a seating area, so the captivating scent can be enjoyed all the time.

Hybrid Tea Roses
Hybrid tea roses are bush roses and thus ideal for borders and large patio pots, and can be planted straight away. With their long stems and large flowers, they are also a favourite of cut displays.
For more information on the different types of roses we offer and therefore what may be most suitable for your garden, see our handy guide.
How will my rose arrive?
Our roses are cut back for the Winter to promote root growth, thus will arrive with short but healthy stems between October and March. Roses in April and May would be expected to have new growth and leaves, and then between May and September buds and blooms. *Please note: These are estimates and can vary due to weather conditions and exact variety of rose.
Your rose will be in a large 5.5L container, which is recyclable and thus can be disposed of accordingly in your home recycling bin.
We take care to be as sustainable as possible here at English Roses, and so avoid single use plastics. Our packaging is therefore fully recyclable, even down to the strapping on our cardboard boxes. Our gift wrapping also contains natural materials, many of which can be repurposed and reused.
