The giant, 4-inch, double blooms of The Lady Gardener Rose will stop every guest in your garden in their tracks. The bright apricot petals are not only visually perfect, but the heady scent of cedar and vanilla makes this a unique rose to place near a deck, patio, or walkway. The Lady Gardener was introduced in 2013 and is named after Plant Heritage, a plant conservation organization in the United Kingdom.  

The compact growth habit of The lady Gardener makes it perfect for adding to an established rose garden or growing in a container. The highly fragranced flowers are repeat blooming and attract all manner of beneficial pollinators through the summer. The glossy green foliage stays clean and is highly resistant to diseases and pests. The Lady Gardener is heat tolerant for USDA zones 5-11 and survives the winter with little supplemental protection or maintenance.

The Lady Gardener Rose Care

Plant the Lady Gardener in a full sun or part shade location that receives at least 6 hours of sun. Protection during the hottest part of the day will help the flowers last longer. Well-drained but moist soil is a necessity. Roses do not like wet leaves and respond well to a soaker hose or drip irrigation system that directs water to the root zone. Fertilize with a slow-release feed formulated for roses. A formula close to 1-4-2 NPK will encourage heavier blooming and strong root formation. 

Pruning is easy with the Lady Gardener. Late in the winter, any dead, damaged, or diseased branches should be removed at the base. Cut out the oldest and less productive canes to encourage new stems for the following season. Cut back the overall height by up to a half if needed. Deadhead the faded blooms throughout the summer to keep the shrub tidy and encourage new flower formation. Fertilizing and heavy pruning should not be done past late summer to allow the rose to prepare for dormancy in the winter. Allowing the last flush of flowers to form hips and seeds will benefit any wildlife in your garden through the fall and winter months.

The Lady Gardener Spacing

The Lady Gardener reaches a mature height and spread of 3-4 feet. A spacing of 4 feet between plants will allow adequate air circulation around all parts of the shrub. Containers should have at least a 5-gallon capacity with a 12-inch diameter.

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.

Guarantee and Warranty

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.
