 Rose Gift CollectionsNew from British Roses - our Gift Collection Rose Bushes are potted, presented in a ribbon-tied hessian bag and safely packed in a strong cardboard container to ensure that they arrive in pristine condition. Included in the price is a greetings card with your personal message. Also, each rose, which is a 4 litre pot, is supplied with an attractive coloured label with a picture and description of the rose.
Let someone celebrate that special day with a beautiful rose gift that gives lasting pleasure and enjoyment whether it be for a birthday, anniversary, wedding, retirement, house warming, Mother's Day, Father's Day, or just to say thank you.
A bouquet of roses can be quite expensive considering they will only last a week or so. A living rose bush will last for many years and give far more enjoyment.

 | Climbers
Vigorous climbing roses, diverse in growth and colour, some flowering in summer only, others flowering more than once in the same season, flowering in Summer - Autumn. |
|
 | Climbing Patio
For use when one requires a climbing rose minus some of the associated vigour. The more compact growth gives a denser mass of floribunda type blooms. |
|
 | English Roses
David Austin Roses that possess the original charm and high fragrance of traditional shrub roses. They are crossbred to also offer good bloom form and repeat flowering. |
|
 | Floribunda
A cluster-flowered bush. Shrubs that usually bloom more than once in the same season - usually large sprays of flowers in Summer - Autumn. Unrivalled for providing a long-lasting bedding display. |
|
 | Ground Cover
Ideal for difficult areas, banks, places that are difficult to mow, etc. These plants form a colourful ground cover 'mat' between 1ft and 2ft in height with slight scent. |
|
 | Hybrid Tea
The ever popular Hybrid Tea grows as a large-flowered bush. Differs from the floribunda group in that its blooms are larger and less in number. The striking blooms tend to be a classic rose shape. They usually bloom more than once in the same season with large flowers borne in Summer - Autumn. |
|
 | Patio & Miniature
These roses have limited growth and so can be successfully grown in restricted situations, for example, in pots indoors, rockeries, troughs, flower beds close to the house. |
|
 | Ramblers
All strong growing with Floribunda type blooms. Ramblers are more rampant and pliable in growth than climbing roses. |
|
 | Shrub Roses
This is a diverse group of roses. Most bloom more than once in the same season and are larger than bush roses, with flowers borne singly or in sprays in Summer and/or Autumn. |
|
 | Standards
Gives that extra depth and third dimension. Stem 1m (3' 3") tall. |
|
