Frequently asked questions
Bare-root Lavender Symphonies 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 Lavender Symphonies 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 Lavender Symphonies is back in stock.
Lavender Symphonies's mature growth range is 60cm x 30cm (2ft x 1ft). 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.
Patio roses are compact, naturally bushy varieties bred to stay small — usually under 60cm — making them ideal for pots, containers and smaller gardens where a full-size shrub rose wouldn't fit. They flower just as freely as their larger relatives.
Lavender Symphonies belongs to our Patio Roses group.
