Moment in Time Floribunda Rose

Moment in Time is a terrible name for this brilliant little rose. Perpetual motion might have been better as this is probably the best non-stop flowering pillar box red rose there is. Which is why it was Rose of the Year 2012. Moment in Time is a genuine floribunda but is more ground cover rose sized; it is rarely more than 60cms tall. It has healthy, glossy leaves that are almost hidden by the clusters of simple, semi-double red flowers. The scent is quite mild, but the flowers last from the beginning of summer well into autumn without a break. The major downside of this vigour is that deadheading is a chore...

This rose is the most fabulous, glorious, Marilyn Monroe lipstick red - a truly brave colour. So for those of you who are more fainthearted in your colour schemes we still have a pretty good selection of roses for you to buy here; alternatively, see the full variety of Floribunda roses available for sale.

Great for your garden

Moment in Time is ideal for growing at the front of a rose border or in a mixed flower bed. As a small rose it is also terrific in containers and its colouring makes it a really interesting alternative to pot geraniums. They look amazing in window boxes for example and they don't die when it freezes. However the perfect location is not critical and this rose, despite its size is as hardy and disease resistant as any rose available today. It just wants good light. If you are planting it in a border, we would really recommend that you do not stop at one plant. We think three is a minimum and you get maximum impact with 5 or 6 plants spaced about 60cms (2ft) apart.

How to plant Moment in Time

Choose a spot in the border with good light. Dig a hole large enough so your rose will be planted with the graft union at soil level and with plenty of room for its roots around the sides. Improve the soil from the hole by removing weeds, large stones, rubbish and roots and adding a shovel full of compost or rotted manure. Sprinkle Rootgrow mycorrhizal fungi in the bottom of the hole so it will make contact with the roots. Potted roses should have some roots gently teased out of the rootball before planting.

Position your Moment in Time rose so its roots are spread out and backfill the hole with soil, firming it gently as you go. Water in thoroughly.

You can order bareroot roses at any time and plant them from November to April, or container roses are available all year round.

We will email you the day before your plants are due to arrive.

*Surcharges to the Highlands and Islands still apply.

Payment: We do not charge your card until we begin to prepare your order for packing.

Guarantee: If any plants die within a year, we will replace them. We only ask that you follow our planting & growing instructions and sent us clear photographs of the dead plants in situ, so we can help to make sure that the replacement plants succeed. You only pay for the delivery of the replacements.

Please note that our guarantee is void if there is a hosepipe ban in your area: your newly planted hedging must be watered in dry weather while it is establishing. The best way to water is very thoroughly every few days: at least once a week if there is no heavy rain.
