What's better than a beautiful rose plant as a gift for a special person? Something that will always remind of you...
It's officially Budding Season for us, with our three Scottish budders now working long hours, and Brian, Rob, Kevin and Fariq every day busy cutting and cleaning budwood for all the rose varieties we grow.
David is budding all the standards, while Lewis and Harry are sharing the bush plants. It's a huge job - essential for our business - that will keep us busy at least until March.
Placing your bare root order now would help us budding the correct amount of your favourite varieties, and avoid disappointments.
Don't forget that our prices for bare root roses will remain the same of last season until the end of this year. They'll increase on January 1st, 2021.
And while you're planning your garden for next winter, have a look at our ideas for Christmas: a rose is always a lovely gift, especially now that we are all home looking after our living space, planning some renovations and enjoying our garden.

Our Gift Wrapped Roses are becoming very popular and they're perfect for any occasion.
You just have to choose your rose and, for an additional $20, we organise all the rest.
We use plastic free and eco-friendly wrapping material - even the little stickers with our logo are biodegradable!
We add one of our beautiful greeting cards with your message and a 230 gr tub of Neutrog Organic Fertilizer for roses.
Your gift is then boxed and posted to your special person.
If you want your gift rose to be posted and to arrive before Christmas, we suggest to place your order by December 7th; after this date we cannot guarantee the delivery before Christmas Day. |

| We've just received from the printer our new Greeting Cards!
We are very proud of this product, even if we don't promote it enough; 12 unique images of our beautiful roses, printed on high quality paper, velvet laminated and packed with elegant white envelopes.
We add them to our gift wrapped roses to deliver your message, but they can also be purchased separately, at $5.95 each and with free shipping. |

A Gift Voucher is often the best solution: it can be used anytime online or at the nursery, is of the amount you decide and it doesn't expire.
Order it online and it'll be delivered to your email address. |

In your garden this month...
Anytime is good to plant a new rose in your garden, and in this video Brian shows you how to plant a potted rose: easy, quick and soon rewarding.
Remember to water, water and water! Fertilise every two weeks and remove the dead flowers to promote new growth.
Brian recommends a regular and general maintenance in the next few months, without forgetting to look after your gardening tools. In this video, Brian shows how you should clean and sharpen your secateurs.
And if you want to know how to grow strong and beautiful roses, here is the link to all Brian's tutorial videos.

As you can see on our website, we have a big collection of Potted Roses ready to be posted now; but what you can't see is our selection of Potted Standards of different sizes.
Unfortunately, we are not able to post them due to their length and the limitations of the freight companies we use, but they're all here, beautiful and strong, ready to be purchased and collected from the nursery.
If you live in the region or you're planning a trip in the South East, ask for our list of Potted Standard Roses - 60cm, 90cm, 120cm and weepers - and come to visit us: you'll be impressed by their quality and their beauty!
As we mentioned last month, we are now open to public visits:
- Monday to Thursday, from 9am to 2.30pm - Friday from 9am to 12.30pm - Every 2nd Sunday of the month from November to April, from 10am to 3pm.
We'll be open on Sunday 13rd December and we'll have some special offers on our Standard Potted Roses... A Christmas surprise just for you!

| We are very sorry to inform our customers from Western Australia and Tasmania that we won't be able to supply them next year.
We'll guarantee the delivery of the orders received so far, but from this week we' won't accept any more orders from these two states.
We'll keep supplying garden centres and nurseries in WA and TAS though, so our roses can still be ordered through these business: just give us a call to know who to contact.
We really apologise for any inconvenience and we are available for any information and explanation required. |
