Neptune Hybrid Tea Rose Bush shines as the perfect light lavender rose. A highly fragrant rose, Neptune has fragrance all summer long, and its large lavender flowers are tinged with purple, and has a spiral of over 35 petals. These large roses can bloom more than five inches across, and appear with a dramatic flair against the dark green foliage. These bare root roses are shipped in the Spring, allowing you to plant them while they are still dormant. Bareroot roses should be planted as soon as possible. If you are unable to plant your bareroot roses within a few days of receiving them, heel them in where you want to plant them. Dig a trench deep and wide enough to hold the roots and about 2-thirds of the top of your roses, place the roses in the trench and cover with soil until you are able to plant properly.
