Rosa ‘Europeana’ (3 Litre Rosepot) — Valentine’s Rose Gift for Any Loved One

Rosa ‘Europeana’ is a classic floribunda rose that’s perfect for gifting — it delivers that rich, romantic rose look with a long season of colour. Expect clusters of deep velvet-red, semi-double blooms with golden-yellow stamens and a light fragrance, flowering repeatedly from early summer right through to autumn.

It’s a compact, bushy plant with healthy, glossy dark green foliage, making it ideal for patio pots, front borders, or planting as a low, colourful rose hedge. Supplied in a 3L rosepot, it arrives as an established plant — a lovely Valentine’s gift that keeps on giving well beyond the day itself. 

Planting Instructions

When to Plant:

Plant into the garden or a larger container in spring or autumn when the soil is workable. If potting on, avoid periods of frost or waterlogging.

Where to Plant:
Choose a sunny position for the best flowering. ‘Europeana’ is ideal for pots and containers, front borders and rose beds. A spot with good airflow helps keep plants healthy, and a little shelter is useful in very exposed gardens.

How to Plant:

• Depth: Plant at the same level as in the pot (top of compost level with the soil surface).
• Spacing: Allow around 45–60 cm between plants if planting in the ground.
• Soil Prep: Mix in well-rotted compost. If planting in a container, use a loam-based compost and ensure the pot has good drainage holes.

Watering:
Water thoroughly after planting. Keep the soil evenly moist while the rose establishes. Container roses need more regular watering in warm weather.

Aftercare Tips:

• Deadhead spent blooms to encourage repeat flowering.
• Feed with a rose fertiliser in spring and again in mid-summer for best performance.
• Prune in late winter/early spring to remove dead or crossing stems and to keep a neat, bushy shape.

Top Tip:
For a beautiful Valentine’s display, place the rosepot somewhere bright and sheltered, then plant on into a larger pot or the garden when conditions are mild. Regular deadheading keeps the flowers coming for longer.
