Potted Alba Roses

Alba Roses are very hardy, withstanding partial shade and poor soils, and so ideal additions to any garden. Incredibly healthy and vigorous growers, they have excellent disease resistance, and require little maintenance. They have foliage with an unusual grey-green colour, and when the blooms appear in one large, mid-summer flush, their unrivalled fragrance is released.

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 potted 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 therefore avoid single use plastics at all costs. Furthermore, our packaging is fully recyclable, even down to the strapping on our cardboard boxes. Our gift wrapping contains natural materials, thus much of it can be repurposed and reused.

A fantastic 35 year anniversary gift, from a small independent UK business.
