The defining glory of 'Pink Paradise' lies in its magnificent bi-coloured blooms that create one of the most striking displays in the rose world. These outstanding deep pink ruffled double blooms feature golden yellow centres, creating a stunning contrast that catches the eye from across the garden.

The clusters of deep pink scalloped edged petal blooms are held proudly above the foliage, making them perfect for both garden display and cutting. The flowers maintain their vibrant colouring and form throughout their long flowering season.
Exceptional Fragrance
One of 'Pink Paradise's' most celebrated features is its extraordinary fragrance. The rose is accompanied by an intense fragrance, whilst the flowers are strongly scented.

Outstanding Garden Performance

The leaf is very disease resistant, ensuring the plant maintains its attractive appearance throughout the growing season. The vigorous growth habit supports abundant flower production whilst creating a well-balanced, attractive shrub.

Continuous Flowering Performance
As a hybrid tea rose, 'Pink Paradise' provides excellent repeat flowering throughout the season. The clusters of blooms appear in successive waves from early summer through to the first frosts, ensuring months of spectacular colour and fragrance. Regular deadheading encourages the continuous production of new flower clusters, maintaining the magnificent display throughout the growing period.
The vigorous nature of this variety means it produces generous quantities of blooms, making it excellent for both garden display and cut flower arrangements.
Growing Conditions and Care
Rose 'Pink Paradise' thrives in full sun positions where it can develop its most vibrant colours and maintain healthy, vigorous growth. The rose adapts well to most garden soils provided they are well-drained and reasonably fertile, though it will reward good preparation with exceptional performance.
Standard rose care practices apply: annual feeding with balanced rose fertiliser, regular watering during dry periods, and pruning in late winter to maintain shape and encourage vigorous new growth. The naturally strong growth habit responds well to pruning, producing abundant new shoots and flowers.
Versatile Garden Applications
With its spectacular appearance and manageable size, 'Pink Paradise' offers exceptional versatility for various garden situations. Ideal for specimen planting where its stunning bi-coloured blooms can be fully appreciated, it also works beautifully in mixed borders where its intense fragrance and striking flowers provide focal points.

Use appropriately sized containers with excellent drainage and high-quality John Innes No. 3 compost for best results.
Container-grown plants will require more regular watering and feeding but reward with the same spectacular blooms and intense fragrance as garden-planted specimens. The compact growth habit makes it ideal for creating striking patio displays.
Seasonal Interest and Maintenance
'Pink Paradise' provides substantial seasonal interest beginning with healthy, disease-resistant foliage emerging in spring, followed by the spectacular bi-coloured blooms that continue through summer and autumn.

The stunning deep pink and golden yellow bi-coloured blooms of 'Pink Paradise' work beautifully with a wide range of companion plants. The golden centres harmonise perfectly with yellow or cream perennials such as lady's mantle, while the deep pink petals complement purple perennials like lavender, catmint, or salvia.

How our roses are supplied through the seasons
All our roses are cultivated in an open field and are carefully dug up when the weather is optimal, typically in October or November. While other nurseries supply roses bare root, once our field-grown roses have been potted up we supply them freshly potted. This better protects the roots and helps keep them moist in transit, ensuring your roses arrive as healthy as when they left our nursery. So don’t be alarmed if the compost comes away from the roots when you remove them from the pot.
The roses can remain in their pots over the winter, as long as they are properly watered and fed, but it's best to plant them out as soon as possible. If you do plant them straight away make sure the planting mix is prepared first, hold the root close to the top of the hole as you tip the pot upside down and try to keep as much compost as possible from falling away. They will already be pruned, so no additional pruning is needed except for trimming any dead tips. Regular pruning can start in late winter, the year after planting.

Patio roses were introduced in the 1980’s and the group now contains several popular varieties. Generally low-growing roses that were once grouped with the Floribuna group but have now been put in their own group of compact versions. Usually growing about 50cm high they make excellent plants for patio containers or at the front of borders.
Climbing Roses (CLM)
Climbing roses as the name suggests are the perfect choice for covering a wall or screen. Often grouped together with Ramblers, Climbers tend to have stiffer stems, larger flowers but smaller trusses than Ramblers.
Rambling Roses (RAM)
Rambling roses are often grouped with Climbing Roses but the ramblers tend to have a more pliable stems that can be used to run along the soil to use as groundcover or can be used to make weeping standards.

English Roses (ENG)

Planting Advice
Roses like a generous root space, so dig a deep hole approximately twice as wide as the current root system, preferably adding composted organic matter to the soil. Never plant into frozen soil – in winter, await a frost-free period. Carefully remove the pot and gently tease the roots apart to spread them around the hole. Position the plant so that the ‘bud point’ (the place where the shoots emerge from, where the cultivated rose was grafted onto the rootstock) is at soil level. Replace the soil, firming it down gently, then water copiously. Ideally, a general purpose fertiliser should be applied to the surrounding soil as a top dressing. We also highly recommend the use of Rose Rootgrow, which provides a friendly fungus that prevents ‘rose replant syndrome’.
Buying our Roses
Pot Size
Most of our roses are supplied in a 4 litre pot although this may vary slightly depending on rose variety. If the size of pot differes significatly from 4 litres then we will make this clear somewhere on the product page.
Seasonality
Our roses are grown outdoors and as such are subject to seasonal changes. As we sell potted stock throughout the year your rose may not arrive and look like you expect it to. If you are uncertain how your rose will arrive (especially if buying for a gift) then we suggest you contact us prior to making a purchase.
Freshly Potted
Each year a new batch of roses is potted up ready for the following season. Once potted (usually November/December time) they go on sale as 'Freshly Potted'. If you purchase a freshly potted rose and plant it soon after you will find that when removing the rose from the pot there will be a lot of loose soil as the roots will not have had time to grow and bind the compost.
Pruned/Cut Back
In autumn the majority of our roses have finished flowering and begin to look untidy, at this point we prune them quite hard in preparation for the following season. We continue to sell roses throughout the year, when a rose has been pruned in such a way we will identify it has being so. If you are not sure what to expect then please ask prior to making a purchase. Some garden centres/supermarkets sell stock that has been grown abroad or in poly-tunnels so they look 'picture perfect' out of season, while this is ideal for a gift they are short lived once planted.
