Pre-Order Bareroot Patio Roses For 2025/26 Winter Planting Season

Casually speaking, a patio plant is relative to your patio and your pot: any large rose will be happy in a large enough container! 

In practical terms, climbing roses under two metres, and bush roses under about 75cm tall are considered patio size.

The roses in this category are both on the small side, and have roots suited to life in a decent size pot.

A true dwarf or miniature rose is under one foot, about 30cm tall.

The majority of patio roses are bred from miniature roses and floribunda roses.

Pot grown stock uses peat free compost wherever possible.

Bareroot roses are grown on heavy clay in a well drained site (heaven for rose roots) and lifted to order. 

• When your order is ready: your mail order rose bushes are delivered by next working day courier (not the next working day after ordering!)

All bareroot plants are covered by our Refund Guarantee, so you can give them a whirl with complete confidence.

Where can I Grow Patio Roses?

You can grow patio roses at the front of your flower border, but they are most commonly grown in pots of soil based compost.

Patio roses generally will tolerate partial shade, but a sunny position is always best.

Remember that roses in pots always need more watering and feeding than those in the ground.

As much as possible, the pot (not the rose itself) should be in the shade to avoid overheating, especially if it is on the small side.

If the pot will be in full all day against a South facing wall, either use the biggest pot you can, or protect it inside a box.

If you use saucers underneath your pots during summer to help with watering, remember to remove them during winter so the pots don't get waterlogged in winter.
