All of our gift roses are potted and presented with a large, attractive colour label with a picture and care instructions. We’ll also include a small personalised gift card on which you can write any special message you wish to include with your rose.

Gardeners Dream Gift Rose Collection features an abundance of vibrant colours for celebratory, commemorative and congratulatory occasions; wedding roses, birthday roses, anniversary roses, retirement roses, Mother’s Day roses and more. Please Note: Roses may be pruned back to encourage re-growth. Rest assured, if your gift rose arrives without foliage, it has been pruned with the best interests of the plant at heart and will soon flourish once again.
This guide is for anyone looking to give a meaningful and lasting gift to a special dad. The Gardeners Dream Special Dad Red Bush Rose provides a beautiful, living symbol of love and appreciation, offering years of enjoyment compared to a short-lived bouquet. However, remember that roses may be pruned back upon arrival to encourage healthy re-growth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Planting: Choose a location with plenty of sunlight and well-draining soil. Dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball and just as deep. Place the rose in the hole, ensuring the bud union (the knobby part at the base of the stems) is slightly below the soil surface. Backfill with soil, gently firming it around the roots.
Watering: Water deeply after planting and regularly during the growing season, especially during dry spells. Avoid overwatering, which can lead to root rot.
Fertilizing: Feed the rose with a balanced rose fertilizer in early spring and again after the first flush of blooms.
Pruning: Prune the rose annually in late winter or early spring to remove dead or crossing branches. This will encourage new growth and improve airflow.
Pest and Disease Control: Monitor for common rose pests and diseases, such as aphids, black spot, and powdery mildew. Treat as needed with appropriate insecticides or fungicides.
