To celebrate the Platinum Jubilee, we are very proud to be launch The Queen Elizabeth II Rose that was officially selected the mark the occasion by Her Majesty. Producing incredibly beautiful large pink blooms that have a classic rose shape that contrast effortlessly with the big green foliage. A stunning variety of hybrid tea rose, it's a strong a robust shrub that has a good resistance and is perfect for planting in your patio containers, beds, and borders. Like many roses, it will make a superb addition to a cut flower garden where you can enjoy the sweet fragrance and gorgeous colour indoors too. Delivered as a bare root rose, ready to plant out. Growing to a height of 100cm and spread of 80cm.

£2.50 from the sale of each rose will be donated to QEST, The Queen Elizabeth Scholarship Trust, to fund excellence and Training in Craftsmanship Skills across Britain.

Top Tips
Add mycorrhizal fungi to the roots when planting to help the plant establish quicker.
Care Information
  • Roses can be planted at any time of the year, if the soil is not frozen, waterlogged or drought-dry.
  • Plant your rose where it can get plenty of sun for at least half of the day, and where it will be sheltered from the wind.
  • Roses tolerate wide range of soils but thrive in deep, humus-rich, moist but well-drained soil.
  • Add plenty of well-rotted manure into the hole if necessary and plant so that the graft union (the swollen area when the stems meet the roots) is around 3cm below soil level.
  • Water well every other day - daily if the weather is hot and dry.
  • Established roses can be watered around once a week through spring and summer - more if the weather is hot.
  • For best results, feed roses in in late-March/April and again late July.
  • To prune, just remove any dead, dying, damaged and diseased stems and deadhead regularly.
  • Traditionally, you would cut just above a leaf joint with a sloping cut away from the bud, however, this isn't necessary, and don’t worry about pruning too much - roses are very resilient and will grow back.
  • When pruning, make sure that your secateurs are clean and sharp to prevent squashing stems and introducing disease.
