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®

About this rose
About Toffee
About Toffee Potted Rose Bush
Rosa ‘Toffee’ — Toffee
🧬 Breeder: Sean McCann
🌹 A one-of-a-kind garden rose with warm caramel tones, ruffled blooms, and irresistible vintage charm.
Toffee is an extraordinary modern garden rose bred by Sean McCann, treasured for its rare warm caramel, buff, and coffee-toned blooms. Unlike traditional pinks and reds, Toffee's flowers open in a sophisticated blend of toffee, café au lait, tan, and soft apricot hues, giving every bloom an antique, heirloom quality that feels both elegant and unexpected.
The fully double, old-fashioned blooms are carried on long stems, making this variety as stunning in floral arrangements as it is in the garden. As the flowers mature, their warm tones continue to evolve, creating a beautiful range of vintage colors on a single plant. Toffee has become a favorite among floral designers and collectors for its distinctive palette and exceptional cut flower quality.

💛 Why Grace Rose Farm Loves It
Toffee is unlike almost any other rose you'll find. Its warm, earthy color palette brings an entirely new dimension to the garden, pairing effortlessly with blush pinks, creamy whites, mauves, and deep burgundies. Whether arranged in a bouquet or admired in the landscape, every bloom feels like a work of art. It's a rose that captures the cozy richness of autumn while blooming beautifully all season long.
🌿 Growing & Care Recommendations
Planting Site: Full sun with fertile, well-drained soil
Spacing: Allow room for good air circulation and mature growth
Watering: Water deeply and consistently during establishment and active growth
Pruning: Prune in early spring to encourage vigorous new flowering stems
Maintenance: Moderate — rewards gardeners with abundant blooms and exceptional cut flowers
This warm, caramel-toned rose is especially prized for floral design, where its unusual coloring makes it a standout in both fresh bouquets and wedding arrangements.
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.
