GardenersDream Purple Rose Bush Potted - Outdoor Plants Ready to Plant - Climbing Roses for Garden with Fragrant Flower Rose Trees - Colourful Roses for Outdoor Garden - (20-50cm Incl. Pot)

Initially the jury was out. Plant arrived on time and fairly well packed; rose itself had damp paper round the stem both protecting it and keeping it moist. New growth stems were obvious when opening the parcel, so that’s good news. However, when transferring from the pot it came in, the root ball disintegrated, I assume it had only recently been put into that pot to dispatch it rather than having been grown in it for some time. Initially I gave three stars, which I happily increased as the plant developed more root and substance. Oddly there were no instructions with the plant, no hints or suggestions, which is fine if you’re an expert or experienced in growing roses …. but not everyone is, I certainly am not. UPDATE: the rose bush has settled very well, it has new shoots coming through hence the upgrade to four stars. Depending on if/when I get a flowering rose I will revisit my star rating. 17.06 - UPDATE: the rose bush has settled well and is growing strongly, no flowers yet as you’d expect, but the plant has numerous new shoots and is growing well. Very pleased with my purchase and happy to recommend. UpDATE: 26.06 - I have now purchased a second rose as I was pleased with the first. Plant was well wrapped, had a good root ball and two flowers, a bit past their best, which is ok as it’ll flower again this year. UPDATE (July): slightly disappointed that the rose isn’t a deeper purple, but you can’t argue it’s a bonnie flower. I’m now very happy to recommend this purchase.

Fantastic packaging and rose plant. Its established and healthy has 1 bud so I can see the purple. Over the moon with this plant. Definitely recommend purchasing.

Lovely rose, arrived all in pot as it should, not dried out,no damage to plant but box was bashed a bit.

Nice healthy plant received well packaged, g8t service. Can't wait to see the very unusual deep purple 💜 the main reason I bought. Top marks fr price/quality plant and service. 👌 👍

Plant arrived promptly and is growing very well, very bushy loads of buds on it, unfortunately all the bud are red not purple, so very disappointed to say the least 😢

Lovely rose very healthy. Arrived safely. But certainly not purple. I’ve waited a few buds to see if the colour does change because it’s a young plant but yeah the puds are coming out a lovely reddish pink colour every time. May take a couple of years to get to purple. But that does need to be put in the description if that’s the case. I do rate products from gardeners dream always buy from them good products fast delivery. Good quality. But just a shame bought the purple rose specifically for in memory for a special friend. Was his fave colour.

Beautiful plant, delivered well on time

😍😍😍 very healthy plants, bought red and white. 10 days after they arrived, after the heat wave will plant them 😍😍😍
