'Isn't She Precious'
tea rose
Rosa 'Isn't She Precious' is a compact modern hybrid tea patio rose with a sweetly polished appearance and a pleasingly generous nature. From June to October, it produces continuous flushes of soft pink, semi-double blooms, each one sitting beautifully against lush, dark green foliage. The contrast is fresh, elegant and just a little bit charming, rather like a compliment delivered at exactly the right moment. Thanks to its neat habit, Rosa 'Isn't She Precious' is particularly well suited to patio pots, smaller borders and sunny seating areas, where its flowers can be enjoyed throughout the warmer months.
Plant Rosa 'Isn't She Precious' in fertile, well-drained soil in a sunny position, giving it good air circulation and regular deadheading to encourage more blooms. Its soft pink colouring is wonderfully easy to combine, pairing beautifully with lavender, nepeta, salvias, silver foliage and creamy white perennials for a relaxed but refined summer display. The dark foliage gives Rosa 'Isn't She Precious' a crisp, healthy-looking backdrop, helping every bloom feel distinct. Compact, floriferous and delightfully pretty without becoming sugary, Rosa 'Isn't She Precious' is an excellent choice for gardeners who want classic rose beauty on a more manageable scale.

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.
