Choosing a gift for a friend or loved one can feel overwhelming but here at English Roses we have a small range of gifts for book lovers. Have a book worm in your life but stuck for an idea? Then have a look at our four splendid roses and show them you care with a literary themed rose.
Truly Scrumptious is the feisty character in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang who eventually fall in love with Caractacus Potts. She doesn’t appear in the novel and was created for the film…but who’s telling. The pinky orange blooms and delightful scent will beguile the literature hound in your life. This hybrid-tea rose of course truly scrumptious. Sorry, we couldn’t resist.
Karen Blixen was the celebrated author of Out of Africa – a memoir of her time in Kenya in the early 20th century. Adapted for the screen in 1985 and starring Meryl Streep and Robert Redford it won the Oscar for Best Picture and Director. The rose itself boasts creamy white blooms and a lovely sweet perfume. With a neat bushy habit it will suit patios and make an excellent cut flower.
Gloriana is a character in Edmund Spenser’s The Faerie Queene based on Elizabeth I. One of the longest poems in the English language, The Faerie Queene is an allegorical epic poem following various knights on their adventures. The rose itself is a climber with elegant pink /purple blooms, a light fragrance and offers repeat climbing throughout the summer.
Named after the iconic Cote d’Azure hotel that attracted literary icons such as F. Scott Fitzgerald and Ernest Hemingway. Fitzgerald was inspired to write short stories there and began his novel Tender is The Night. The rose itself has stunning cerise pink blooms with a rich and fruity scent. What a way to bring a touch of the French Riviera to an English garden.

I bought this beautiful rose as an engagement gift. Having shopped around I found that many online sellers hugely inflated their prices with excessive postage costs. This was not the case with English Roses and the size and quality of the rose bush far exceeded my expectations. Delivery was quick and the rose was very well packaged. A perfect size with lots of buds and lush foliage. I will most definitely be a regular customer in the future!
Bought for my sister and her husband's 40th wedding anniversary. Delivered on the day I asked for and my sister was delighted with the packaging and condition of the plant. Thankyou

We received a beautiful rose in a wicker basket from our daughter and her fiancé for our ruby anniversary.

We would highly recommend this company, based on what we received
Bought this for my mum and dad’s anniversary. It came so well packaged and the rose itself had lots of buds on. My parents were delighted with it. Delivery was excellent and I would definitely order from here again.

I recently purchased the Joie de Vivre rose for my sister’s 80th birthday. It was very easy to order. I was kept in touch regarding delivery and the rose arrived on time. My sister was delighted with my gift and is going to get a large pot and make the rose a focal point in her garden. I will certainly use the English Roses company for future purchases

Absolutely lovely rose. Arrived bang on time and very well packaged, the soil still felt a little moisture due to the fab packing! Can't wait to give this my friend for her birthday, she will love it :)
Got the Rose as an 25th wedding anniversary gift for my friend. She was so over the moon with it. She opened the box to look at it & has left it the box so her husband can open it when he gets in. It's such a nice feeling when you make someone day. Your Rose 🌹 did just that thank you
