That gives a richer look across the plant, not a flat single shade. This potted rose is beautifully presented by an expert member of our nursery team, gift wrapped in a brown hessian bag that fits neatly around the pot before being finished with an elegant green satin bow. A ready-made gift from the moment it arrives! With the wrapping already done to a professional standard, you needn't lift a finger! The fragrance stands out. It smells fruity and inviting, especially on warm days. Plant it near a door, path or seating spot and the garden feels more welcoming straight away. Kathleen's Rose repeats its flowers from early summer into autumn. It does not stop after one flush. It keeps going. The growth stays neat and balanced, with fresh green foliage that supports the blooms and helps the plant look smart through the season. Supplied as a gift wrapped, established rose in a 4 litre pot, wrapped in brown hessian with a green bow, ready to plant or gift. We always endeavour to provide beautifully formed plants; however, our roses will naturally start to lose their leaves from October to prepare for the colder months. Do not worry though, as they will flourish once again with leaves and buds in the spring. Please, make sure you consider the season when purchasing our remarkable roses for yourself or loved ones.
Kathleen's Rose is an ideal choice for gardeners looking for a reliable, fragrant rose that provides seasonal color from early summer through autumn. This rose produces soft pink blooms that transition to coral tones as they mature, creating a sophisticated aesthetic that is perfect for scenting pathways, patios, or entryways. While it offers a beautiful, low-maintenance display, prospective owners should be aware that the plant is deciduous and will naturally lose its foliage starting in October to enter its winter dormancy period.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Planting: Choose a sunny spot with well-draining soil. Dig a hole twice the width of the pot and ensure the top of the root ball is level with the surrounding soil surface.
Watering: Water the plant thoroughly immediately after planting. During the first growing season, keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged.
Maintenance: Trim back faded blooms to encourage the next cycle of flowering.
Winter Care: Expect the plant to drop its leaves beginning in October. This is a normal physiological process for this variety. During this dormancy, keep the soil slightly moist but reduce active fertilizing until new growth appears in the spring.
Container Care: If keeping the plant in its pot, ensure the container has drainage holes to prevent root rot.
