Roses can easliy be found online

Buying Roses online

Selecting roses to buy online, is best carried out during winter months when roses are in dormancy.

Mail order rose catalogues from growers across the UK are released every winter with dozens of new release roses, plus the old favorites.

Pot or container grown roses can be purchased from growers and garden centers all through the year and are best planted into the garden or permanent pot or container as soon as possible.

Bare root roses should be planted and staked. Staking prevents the root system moving around in strong winds and allows the plant to establish its root system more easily.

 

When to buy roses

In most cases bulk orders will often need to be placed in autumn to secure delivery by post in time for planting.

This is a fantastic way to fill your garden with colour and fragrance, see our articles on climbing, bush and standard roses.

Generally bare root roses are delivered from November through to March.

Potted varieties are available to buy from March onwards.

Discounted or cheaper plants are sometimes available at the end of the selling season, choice will be a lot slimmer and you may find slightly inferior stock, however you do get what you pay for.

Rose Prices

Online prices vary from around £10 to £20 depending on the particular rose. Can you buy cheaper roses? Well yes, however you do need to be careful with quality and diseases with discounted offerings.
