It is the bareroot season, so you have the opportunity to acquire all sorts of roses that are not available potted during the rest of the year. Every year, more varieties are added to the canon. In this section, we want to encourage you to think beyond the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ashridgetrees.co.uk\/collections\/climbing-rose-bushes\">climber<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ashridgetrees.co.uk\/collections\/rambling-rose-bushes\">rambler<\/a> to disguise the oil tank or the bare wall, and even beyond patio roses for pots on the terrace, lovely and important as they are, but to focus on roses as cut flowers. A bought bunch of roses is quite an investment, while for the same price you could buy one shrub or hybrid tea rose with the capacity to flower again and again from early June to the end of October. It is really worth setting aside a sunny corner of your garden to act as a cutting flower area. Prettify it with lavender, and you will know that beauty and function are coexisting, just as William Morris would have it. Taste in roses, as with everything, is entirely subjective but for cut flowers there is one key performance indicator and that is vase life. Delightful as rose petals strewn down the table are, for preference they should remain on the flower to be a successful cutting rose. Preparing the rose is important. Cut off any foliage so that none is immersed in the soaking water. Split the stems and aim to change the water every day. Although there is nothing to stop you deploying any of the roses in your garden for vase duty, the following roses are all valuable for their prowess in a vase and for their beautiful flowers and scent. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ashridgetrees.co.uk\/products\/ispahan-shrub-rose-plants\">Ispahan <\/a>&#8211; a highly scented, vibrant pink damask rose. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ashridgetrees.co.uk\/products\/pauls-himalayan-musk-rambling-rose-plants\">Paul&#8217;s Himalayan musk<\/a> &#8211; baby pink, small flowered rambler. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ashridgetrees.co.uk\/products\/just-joey-hybrid-tea-rose-plants\">Just Joey<\/a> &#8211; an amber gold, lightly scented hybrid tea. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ashridgetrees.co.uk\/products\/compassion-climbing-rose-plants\">Compassion<\/a> &#8211; another pink climber with more of a hybrid tea style of flower that repeats.<\/p>\n<div>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0947\/0351\/8022\/files\/ispa-2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-5321 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.ashridgetrees.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/ispa-2-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"Ispahan\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\"><\/a> Ispahan<\/div>\n<p>Most of our bare root roses will be available from early November, just before the ground has become really solid with frost so that it is easier to work and perfect for planting.
