Rosa
'Isn't She Lovely'
tea rose
Rosa 'Isn't She Lovely' is an award-winning hybrid tea shrub rose with a particularly graceful way of presenting itself. The creamy-gold buds open into large, beautifully formed double blooms, unfolding to ivory and cream-white with subtle salmon-pink and golden peach tones glowing at the centre. This soft, luminous colouring gives Rosa 'Isn't She Lovely' a romantic but sophisticated mood, never too sugary and always elegant. Rosa 'Isn't She Lovely' is ideal for gardeners who enjoy classic rose beauty with a polished, contemporary finish. Recognised with the RHS Award of Garden Merit and the Gold Standard Award, it combines strong health and excellent garden performance with flowers of real refinement.
Plant Rosa 'Isn't She Lovely' in fertile, well-drained soil in a sunny position, where its handsome flowers and healthy growth can be shown to full advantage. Its pale, warm-toned blooms pair beautifully with lavender, nepeta, salvias, silver foliage and soft apricot or white perennials, creating a border that feels calm, luminous and beautifully composed. Regular deadheading will encourage a longer display, keeping the plant looking fresh through the flowering season. It is equally suited to mixed borders, rose beds or a prominent spot near a seating area, where those elegant blooms can be properly admired. Refined, resilient and quietly radiant, Rosa 'Isn't She Lovely' more than lives up to her name.

Plant profile
Plant calendar
Check each plant’s specifications. Hardy perennials can remain outdoors, while half-hardy and tender varieties should be kept frost-free until the risk of frost has passed.
Plant within a month, preferably sooner. Choose a suitable position, remove weeds and loosen the soil thoroughly, adding compost or well-rotted organic matter where needed.
Gently remove the plant from its pot and plant with the root ball level with the soil surface. Firm gently, water well and add a plant label.
Water regularly until established and whenever the soil feels dry during spring and summer. Feed container-grown plants fortnightly during active growth to encourage healthy flowering.
