Description

Introducing a truly extraordinary new rose that delivers more than just blooms, it brings joy, fragrance, romance, and meaning to your garden.

'Jane Austen's Emma' is a breakthrough Hybrid Tea rose that flowers from June well into autumn, filling your garden with colour, elegance and head-turning scent. Each bud opens with poise and charm, unveiling a rose of soft blush-pink petals and a rich, rose-perfumed fragrance lifted by fruity undertones.

Chosen not only for its beauty, but for its vigour and reliability, 'Emma' is compact, well-branched and naturally disease resistant. You'll love how easily it slots into beds, borders or even a large patio pot, flowering non-stop through the summer months without demanding constant care.

For every plant sold, �2.50 goes directly to Jane Austen's House charity (registered charity no. 1156458). That means you�re not only adding charm and fragrance to your garden, you�re helping preserve one of England�s most treasured literary homes too.

So if you love classic roses, rich perfume, meaningful gifts, or simply want to add a long-flowering star to your garden, this one really does tick all the boxes.

Supplied as an established plant in a 4 litre pot, ready to be planted out.

We always endeavour to provide beautifully formed plants; however, our roses will naturally start to lose their leaves from October to prepare for the colder months. Do not worry though, as they will flourish once again with leaves and buds in the spring. Please, make sure you consider the season when purchasing our remarkable roses for yourself or loved ones.

Care Information

Roses can be planted at any time of the year, as long as 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, 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 in late-March/April and again 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.
