(Floribundas (cluster roses)) A Peter Beales Roses introduction, 'Loyal Companion' offers a captivating kaleidoscope of colour across its freely borne clusters of semi-double blooms, opening from apricot buds through warm peach tones before softening to a delicate blush pink and finally fading to near-white. Fragrant and reliably repeat-flowering throughout summer and into autumn, the ever-changing palette of colours on a single truss gives this rose an enchanting, almost living quality.

Frequently asked questions

Bare-root Loyal Companion 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 Loyal Companion 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 Loyal Companion is back in stock.

Loyal Companion's mature growth range is 90cm x 60cm (3ft 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.

Floribunda roses produce large clusters of blooms on each stem rather than one flower at a time, giving a bold, continuous show of colour from summer into autumn. They're generally bushier and more free-flowering than Hybrid Teas, making them excellent for borders and bedding.

Loyal Companion is a Floribunda rose.
