Rosa 'American Pilar'
American Pillar has been extremely popular ever since it was introduced. It never fails to flower exuberantly, though rather late in the season, after most roses have already given off their best. It roots quickly from cuttings, is easy to grow and is the hardiest of Dr Walter Van Fleet's 'dooryard' roses. The flowers are a cheerful crimson, with a glowing white centre and a large clump of bright golden stamens. They are paler in hot weather and bright sunlight, so this is a rose that looks better in cool conditions but nonetheless grows and flowers spectacularly in widely different climates-from very hot to very cold. The flowers come in large clusters and are followed by a handsome crop of scarlet hips in autumn. The plant grows very vigorously, building up lots of slender branches with a fair covering of large prickles. The British rosarian T C Mansell wrote in 1946 that "it can provide as impenetrable a thicket as ever Christian had to surmount" referring to the trials facing Christian in John Bunyan's allegory The Pilgrim's Progress). The handsome leaves turn slightly purple in late autumn and last a long time, usually until after the birds have taken the hips.

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.
