As spring turns into summer, we will aim to send roses with buds and blooms whenever possible. This is very weather dependent and bud/bloom stages and size will differ for each variety. If there aren't any buds or blooms present, please don't worry as we are at the beginning of the growing season with plenty of time for them to appear.
Mildred Scheel Rose
Mildred Scheel Rose is an incredible variety and a sure favourite in the garden. Blooms of the deepest red open from buds so dark purple they appear almost black. The large, graceful flowers are full and shapely, and held in small trusses on strong, upright stems. Not only stunning to look at, these flowers produce a strong, rich fragrance that will fill the air all summer long. The sheer abundance of blooms, with their classic hybrid tea shape and deep velvety colour, rest on a bushy backdrop of glossy dark green leaves.
Hardy, tolerant of poor soils, and boasting good disease resistance, this stunning hybrid tea would be at home in any garden or outdoor space. With strong, vigorous growth with an upright habit, this repeat flowering rose is also ideal for cut displays, bringing the joy indoors. The epitome of a good rose, with a deep colouring and rich perfume, it is no wonder Mildred Scheel Rose won the RHS Award of Garden Merit in 1991.

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.
