Description

Unlike any rose you've ever grown... 'Rhapsody in Blue' boasts mesmerising blue-purple blooms with golden stamens and a fragrance that floats through the garden. Awarded 'Rose of the Year' in 2003 and recognised with the coveted RHS Award of Garden Merit, they blend show-stopping colour and garden reliability beautifully.

The semi-double clusters open fully to reveal that rare blue-tinted shade, captivating visitors and offering a focal point in beds or pots. The foliage stays healthy and glossy, supporting long bloom performance well into autumn.

A great choice for continuous repeat flowering and resilience even in cooler conditions. These are pollinator-friendly, hardy and low-maintenance, making them an excellent choice for newcomers and rose lovers alike.

Fully deserving its coveted RHS Award of Garden Merit, you can be sure that this is a proven garden performer, guaranteed to be suitable for UK gardeners at every level of experience. You can therefore plant this in the garden with confidence, for a stunning display for many years to come.

Supplied as a pair of bare root roses, ready to plant.

Top Tips
  • Roses can be planted at any time of the year, as long as the soil is not frozen, waterlogged or drought-dry.
Care Information
  • 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, so 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 late-March/April and again in late July.
  • Delivery Information

    Please allow us 3-5 working days to dispatch your order. Pre-ordered items will be sent as soon as possible after the date quoted and we'll generally ship your entire order with your pre-ordered items. When your order is dispatched, we'll send you another email with details of how to track it.

    Most orders are sent on a fully-tracked courier service with Yodel. To avoid perishable items being stuck at depots and deteriorating, no signature is required, and our courier is asked to leave your order in a safe place on your property.

    We'll send a tracking link when we dispatch your order, so you know when its due to arrive. Please note, once delivered we cannot be held responsible for loss or theft from your property. If you have any specific delivery instructions, please let us know - there's an option to enter a short message for the courier at the checkout.

    Smaller, lighter, single-item orders may be sent through the post with Royal Mail - in which case no tracking is available.

    Our experienced nursery team will always send your plants nursery fresh in the perfect condition to thrive when you plant them, so although most plants are very tough and will not be affected by all but the most extreme frosts or heatwaves, we avoid dispatching the most perishable plants if extreme weather is forecast, or over Bank Holiday weekends.

    Please note, we cannot guarantee delivery on a certain day or time. Delivery to outlying postcode areas may take 1-2 days longer, dependent on your location.
