Prunus Autumnalis Rosea: Bareroot Pink Winter Flowering Cherry Trees in Standard Sizes
Prunus subhirtella Autumnalis Rosea, or Rosebud Cherry, is the pink version of the Winter flowering cherry tree.
The dark pink buds that open into pastel pink flowers from late October to February. The small leaves are bronze in spring, turning green in summer and gold in autumn. It is best to plant this tree beside a path or seated area, where it can be admired up close. The small, bitter fruit attract birds.
It is a petite, slender tree with an elegant, open form, lots of thin twigs and light branches that cast very little shade, so it's a really useful tree to plant in a border because they won't block much sun from reaching your other plants. It is suitable for a small garden, reaching up to 7 metres.

Delivery season: Cherry blossom trees are delivered bareroot during late autumn and winter, approximately November-March inclusive.
Choosing a size: Small trees are cheaper, easier to handle and more forgiving of less than ideal aftercare, so they are best for a big planting project. If instant impact is your priority, or if you are only buying a few plants for use in a place where it is convenient to water them well in their first year, then you may as well use bigger ones. All our bareroot trees are measured by their height in centimetres above the ground (the roots aren't measured).
Features:
- Height: To 7m
- Soil: Any decently well drained
- Use: Specimen, small gardens, urban
- Colour: Pink buds, pastel pink blossom in October-February
- Bareroot delivery only: November-March
Growing Prunus Autumnalis Rosea
It will grow on most well drained soils, preferably rich ones, and although it is a hardy tree, we recommend planting it in sheltered, sunny places, where it will flower best.
Standard trees are measured by their girth in centimetres 1 metre above ground level: their trunk's waist measurement. Unlike sapling trees and hedge plants, standards aren't measured by their height, which will vary quite a bit both between and within species.
So, a 6/8cm standard tree has a trunk with a circumference of 6-8cm and an 8/10 standard has a trunk 8-10cm around. This measurement makes no difference to the tree's final height.
On average, standard trees are 2-3.5 metres tall when they arrive, but we cannot tell you precisely how tall your trees will be before we deliver them.
Bareroot planting is best done between November and April Bareroot and potted - what's the difference?
