Garden Plant Size Guide
Plants in larger pots can be multiple years older than their smaller counterparts with more mature root systems and foliage. This makes them able to thrive as a full size plant in your garden quicker than smaller alternatives.
The most common size of pot that garden plants come in are 9cm/1L/3L/5L this is in reference to the diameter at the top of the pot.
9cm potted plants still remain the most popular cost effective option though, they just may take a little patience to allow them to grow into full maturity once planted in your garden.

Top Tip
Prune roses in late winter or early spring to encourage healthy growth and blooms. Remove dead, damaged, or crossing stems, and cut above outward-facing buds. Regular pruning improves airflow, reduces disease risk, and keeps your rose bushes thriving.
How to Water
Water roses deeply at the base 1–2 times per week, depending on weather, to keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy. Avoid overhead watering to prevent fungal diseases. Early morning is best to allow leaves to dry quickly. Mulch helps retain soil moisture and reduce watering needs.
How to Plant
To plant roses, choose a sunny spot with well-draining soil. Dig a hole twice as wide and deep enough to place the root ball with the graft union slightly above soil level. Mix compost into the soil, backfill, and firm gently. Water thoroughly and mulch to retain moisture. Space plants 60-90cm apart.
