Nothing says romance in a garden like a beautifully full and fragrant rose. The Alnwick® Rose is an incredibly romantic English shrub rose with gorgeous flowers that are perfect for any garden. The showy and cupped flowers open in a shade of soft pinkish coral, offset by gorgeous dark green and glossy foliage. The Alnwick® Rose flowers from early summer until the first frost. It was named after The Alnwick Garden in the UK.
The flowers of The Alnwick® Rose exude a lovely Old Rose fragrance of sweet lemon with a hint of raspberry. This shrub rose has an upright, rounded yet slightly bushy habit. The smaller habit makes this rose a great choice for containers, groupings, and mixed borders. Alnwick® is considered disease resistant with a vigorous growth habit.
The Alnwick® Rose Care
The Alnwick® Rose prefers a location in full sun. It tolerates various soil types but does best in rich soil that is well drained. Roses prefer slightly acidic soil with a pH of around 6.5 or neutral. The Alnwick® Rose requires regular watering and does not tolerate wet feet. Provide the plant with good air circulation by not overcrowding the plant to avoid fungal diseases. The Alnwick® Rose does not require heavy fertilizer; feed in the springtime with an all-purpose, organic fertilizer or a rose-specific fertilizer with a higher proportion of phosphorus such as 18-24-16.
Deadhead spent flowers of The Alnwick® Rose to extend the bloom period. Prune weak and old woody canes in the wintertime, and reduce the overall size of the shrub by half. Remove spent foliage in the winter time to reduce recurring foliar diseases. For container care, plant this shrub in an 8 - 15 gallon pot with good drainage. Place the container in a location that receives 5 - 6 hours of full sun a day and plenty of air circulation. Water the base of your potted rose plant when the top two inches of soil are dry.
The Alnwick® Rose Spacing
The Alnwick® Rose can grow up to 4 feet high and 3 feet wide. Space plants 30 - 36” apart to allow adequate room for growth.

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).

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.
