The 'Ginger Syllabub' rose has a delightful fragrance described as having hints of spice and fruit, making it a wonderful addition to any garden where its scent can be enjoyed.
Can this rose be delivered to Scotland?

Troubleshooting
Rose not flowering
Ensure adequate sunlight, proper feeding, and correct pruning. Over-pruning or insufficient nutrients can affect blooms. Check for pests or diseases that may be stressing the plant.
Yellowing leaves
This can indicate over-watering, under-watering, or nutrient deficiency (especially iron or magnesium). Check soil moisture and consider a feed with trace elements.
Poor growth
Ensure the plant is in suitable soil, receiving enough light, and has adequate water and nutrients. Check for any obstructions or competition from nearby plants.
Black spot or mildew
Improve air circulation around the plant. Remove affected leaves promptly and dispose of them away from the garden. Consider using a fungicide if the problem is severe.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Planting:
Choose a sunny location with well-drained soil. If planting in a container, use a large pot (at least 40cm diameter) with good drainage and fill with a quality potting mix.
Dig a hole wide and deep enough to comfortably accommodate the root ball.
Gently remove the rose from its 4L pot, taking care not to damage the roots. If the roots are tightly bound, gently tease them apart.
Place the rose in the hole so that the top of the root ball is level with the surrounding soil.
Backfill the hole with soil, firming gently around the base.
Water thoroughly after planting.
Support:
Install a sturdy support system (trellis, wires, or frame) at the time of planting or shortly after.
Gently tie stems to the support as they grow.
Care:
Watering: Water regularly, especially during dry periods, ensuring the soil stays moist but not waterlogged.
Feeding: Apply a balanced rose fertilizer in spring and again in early summer.
Pruning: Prune in late winter or early spring to remove dead, damaged, or crossing branches and to shape the plant. Shorten long shoots from the previous year by about a third to encourage new growth and flowering.
Pest & Disease: Monitor for common rose pests like aphids and black spot. Treat promptly with appropriate organic or chemical controls if necessary.
Compatibility:
Suitable for outdoor planting in the ground or large containers.
