Despatch Update

Current Despatch Information

Despatches of dahlias/summer bulbs began 4th March. If cold weather returns, despatches may be delayed as we do not despatch if overnight temperatures are below freezing, due to a risk of damage to bulbs in transit. We began taking orders on the 1st Jan, and have a sizeable order backlog. We will be despatching in date order, unless you have a pressing need for them earlier. Before asking for early delivery, please bear in mind that unless you have a heated greenhouse and intend taking cuttings, or are having the tubers shipped to a warmer country, it is still far too early to start dahlia tubers into growth. Be assured that all orders will be fulfilled in time for the normal growing season, which this year is a little later than normal - and we thank you for your patience at this busy time of year.

Despatch Update:-

We have now shipped all orders received during January, February, March and April, and are now packing May orders. Please note there is a short gap between packing and shipping, and we are closing that gap daily. If you have ordered during this period and not heard from us, please telephone us to check on your order.

Please Note: It is not too late to order dahlias for planting this year. If potted/planted during June they will flower from mid/late August until the first frosts. We will close the order book for Dahlias at the end of May, and open the site for orders of Alliums, Tulips, Narcissus, etc, on the 1st June. If you want to buy either dahlia tubers or growing plants after the end of May, please telephone us for availability.

RHS SHow Orders - Update:-

We have packed and shipped all orders taken at the RHS Hyde Hall Show and our 'Open Weekend' orders from last year. We have also packed most orders placed at the 2012 RHS Wisley show. We also completed packing & shipping most orders placed at the RHS Autumn Show at 'the Halls' in Oct 2012.

Welcome to Rose Cottage Plants

As passionate gardeners, as well as nurserymen, bulbs have always played an essential role in all our planting schemes. From the simplicity of the earliest snowdrop to the razzle-dazzle of dahlias in high summer, bulbs can be relied on to supply an extra layer of interest and colour to the border in every month of the year.

Putting together our seasonal bulb collections allows us to bring you the very best the bulb world has to offer – a wonderful choice of exceptional varieties, from the established favourites to the new and the sought-after. We source from the best growers to offer the finest quality, top-sized bulbs at prices which will pleasantly surprise you.

Whatever your style or size of garden, by choosing from the Rose Cottage range, you will bring a touch of bulb magic to your own Eden.
