Frequently asked questions
Bare-root Lovely Lady roses are best planted during their dormant season, from November to March, which is also when we dispatch them. Potted roses are grown in containers and can be planted at any time of year — just avoid periods of hard frost or drought, and water thoroughly after planting.
Every rose we sell is covered by our 1-year Rose Guarantee, so you can plant Lovely Lady with confidence. See our Rose Guarantee page for the full details.
Often, yes — we grow our roses ourselves and stock varies through the season, so a variety that's sold out can come back. Use the "Notify me" button above to be emailed the moment Lovely Lady is back in stock.
Lovely Lady's mature growth range is 60cm x 60cm (2ft x 2ft). Growing conditions such as soil, sunlight, feeding and pruning can affect the final size, so treat this as a guide rather than an exact figure.
Hybrid Tea roses have the classic, elegant rose shape: large, high-centred blooms carried mostly one to a stem, ideal for cutting and for a more formal look in the garden. They typically repeat-flower reliably from early summer into autumn.
Lovely Lady is a Hybrid Tea rose.
