I recently bought their 1 gallon and I was so happy to receive a well sized rose with seven stems! They did a really good job growing these as the stems were pretty thick.David Austin® The Cottage Rose®

💛 Why Grace Rose Farm Loves It
Ambridge® captures the essence of a true English garden rose — softly colored blooms, romantic form, and a perfume that invites you to linger. Its compact size makes it especially versatile, ideal for mixed borders, cottage gardens, and fragrant plantings near walkways or patios. Reliable repeat bloom ensures the garden remains welcoming and full of charm all season long.
🌿 Growing & Care Recommendations
Planting Site: Full sun with well-drained soil
Spacing: Allow room for a medium shrub
Watering: Regular watering while establishing; maintain even moisture during bloom cycles
Pruning: Prune lightly in spring to shape and encourage strong flowering
Maintenance: Moderate — rewards care with abundant, fragrant blooms
Before planting
Keep your rose in its pot in a sunny spot and water it well while you prepare the bed. Choose a place with at least six hours of sun and soil that drains well. Water the pot thoroughly an hour before planting.
Planting your potted rose
Dig a hole twice as wide as the pot and about as deep. Ease the rose out, loosen any circling roots and set it so the top of the root ball sits level with the ground. Backfill with garden soil mixed with compost, firm gently and water deeply.
First season watering and care
Water deeply two to three times a week through the first season, more often in hot weather, letting the top inch of soil dry between waterings. Mulch keeps the roots cool. Start feeding once new growth appears, and remove spent blooms to keep the flowers coming.
