How much would you expect to pay for a rose plant? I'm looking to order one for delivery tomorrow for my mum on my stepdad's anniversary but don't know if I'm paying over the odds because it's coming from interflora.....
If you're wanting next day delivery that's going to put a premium on the price l'm afraid. If you're not too bothered about when it arrives you could shop around from the rose suppliers, at this time of year they will send potted roses as opposed to bare root, which also adds to the cost.
Roses are outdoor plants so it would be happier if it were. Small patio roses, which is what that looks like, can be grown indoors in a sunlit conservatory - most need around 6 hours of direct sunlight. Either way, it will need a bigger pot, regular deep watering and feeding to thrive. TBH unless you know your mum is up for that, a bunch of flowers might be easier for her...
Mountainous Northern Catalunya, Spain. Hot summers, cold winters.
Sorry @PlantyPru, only just seen this. The M&S one, as Nollie says, is better off treated as a house plant. You can plant them outside after hardening off, but they aren't really the same as a "proper" rose. If you want something more permanent, it might be better to delay a big purchase while you shop around, and send flowers on the day

Might be worth a look.
