Add a touch of timeless, elegant charm to the landscape with the Scepter’d Isle Rose. The strongly fragrant blooms of this rose feature soft pink petals that surround brilliant yellow stamens. It is a vigorous, repeat-blooming selection. The Scepter’d Isle Rose is named after a description of England in Shakespeare’s Richard II, and it certainly fits this rose, with its classic English appearance and fragrance.
This award-winning rose has a bushy, upright form that makes it an excellent option for a rose border or hedge. Plant perennials like salvia or lavender with their cool blue flowers in front of this rose to create a stunning display. Utilize the Scepter’d Isle Rose in a location where its scent can be enjoyed regularly. It offers excellent disease resistance.
Scepter’d Isle Rose Care
Position the Scepter’d Isle where it will receive full sunlight. The ideal soil for this shrub is slightly acidic, rich, fertile, and moist but well drained. Work ample compost into the site at planting if the soil is poor or has a high clay content. Like other roses, an annual springtime application of a slow-release fertilizer or well-rotted manure around the root zone will encourage plant vigor. Water the rose deeply about twice per week during extended dry spells or whenever the top 2 inches of soil feel dry.
Snip off spent flowers as they fade throughout the blooming season to encourage repeat blooms. In late winter, perform an annual pruning to remove up to one-third of the shrub’s canes. During this process, thin out older canes and remove any dead, weak, or spindly canes.
Scepter’d Isle Rose Spacing
The Scepter’d Isle rose has a height of 4 to 5 feet and a spread of just 2 to 3 feet, giving it an upright and fairly narrow form. Position multiples of these roses 3 feet apart to use them as a hedge but leave more space around plants used as standalone specimens.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)
We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die. Hungry animals, drought, poor soil conditions, over watering, diseases & pests are all good examples of what can cause plants to die. The Plant Addicts Warranty is a 1 year warranty protecting you from all of the unknowns and will replace your plant if something were to happen to it.
The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability). We may ask for photos for documentation purposes, but we try to make the process as easy as possible.

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
