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®

A perfect choice for those who want color, movement, and character in their landscape.
Planting: Choose a sunny spot with well-draining soil and good air circulation
Spacing: Allow room for natural shrub growth and airflow between plants
Watering: Maintain even moisture until established, then moderate regular watering
Pruning: Light spring pruning to shape and remove any weak canes
Maintenance: Standard rose care encourages continuous bloom and healthy foliage
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.
