Rosa 'Bonica'

Rosa 'Bonica'

Award of Garden Merit

Bonica 82 is one of the most successful and widely planted of all modern roses.  It owes its popularity partly to its remarkable vigour and floriferousness, and partly to its suitablility for so many purposes.  It is equally useful and easy to grow as a shrub rose, ground-cover rose, landscaping plant, and container rose.  The flowers are bright, pale pink, opening from rich, pink buds and fading eventually to white in hot climates.  They have ruffled petals and a lightly cupped shape.  The flowers usually come in clusters of 5-15.  Although their stalks are short, they are useful, long-lasting roses to cut for the house.  Bonica 82 has a very long and spectacular main flowering.  Thereafter, it continues to produce a few flowers until late autumn.  They are followed by bright red hips that usually persist until the following spring.  The plant makes a thick, rounded bush, capable of reaching 1.5m, but is best pruned back to about half its size every other year or so.  Its leaves are handsome, dark and glossy and contribute much to its overall beauty.  Blackspot can afflict it later in the year, but seems not to affect the plant's growth, flowering or vigour.

All the roses we sell have been field grown and lifted when the conditions are at their best. If ordering potted roses, as the plants will not start to put on any more root growth until the spring, please do not be surprised to find the compost fall away from the roots when you take the plant out of its pot. We use a high quality compost so you can incorporate this when you plant your rose.

 

 

 

 

 

 

At Kelways, we are confident that the products we supply are of a high standard and quality. All our plants with a hardiness rating of H4 and above are guaranteed for 12 months from the date of delivery, with the exception of bedding plants, annuals, seeds and bulbs. We pride ourselves in selecting the best plants available and will never knowingly send anything of substandard quality. If for any reason you are unhappy with your purchase, please contact us via email at sales@kelways.co.uk and we will do all we can to rectify the situation. If we require any plants to be returned to us where we agree that the reason for return is our fault, we will arrange for our couriers to collect them from you at our expense. For instances where the customer may have changed their mind or made a mistake in their order, please just contact us and we will do all we can to help. Please do bear in mind, however, that plants by their very nature, are perishable goods, and as such will need certain care in handling and any returns would need to be processed in a timely manner. Occasionally, some plants may not be available right away, and similarly, we may, at our discretion, not send certain plants if we feel they are not of a suitable standard or quality. In these instances, there may be a slight delay in sending your order, but we will always endeavour to contact you if we believe there may be a delay in dispatch. Some plants may be ordered in advance of their availability period (i.e. bare root peonies or bulbs). For any product where this applies, you will be shown the month for when these products will be delivered. None of the above affects your statutory rights as a consumer.
