Bare-root roses are lifted only after they enter dormancy and the shoots have fully matured and hardened. Lifting them too early can stress the plants and leave young growth insufficiently mature.
We do not force the season simply to ship earlier. We wait for the right point in the plant’s natural cycle, so you receive a strong, well-matured rose ready for planting and the season ahead.
What about colder regions and winter frost?
Waiting until the shoots have fully matured helps the plants enter winter better prepared for low temperatures.
Famous Roses provides a 180-day establishment guarantee for bare-root roses.

Full description:
Minerva is a rose for those who appreciate colour with depth and character. Its burgundy buds open into deep lilac-violet flowers with silvery reflections, softly ruffled edges and a luminous contrast created by white centres and golden stamens.
The flowers are double, measuring approximately 4–7 cm, and appear in generous clusters that can create an impressive floral display. On strong stems, each branch can carry many blooms, giving the plant a sense of abundance without losing elegance.
Fragrance is one of Minerva’s strongest qualities. Powerful, intense and easy to notice, it adds a sensory layer to the garden and makes this variety especially rewarding near paths, terraces and places where roses can be enjoyed up close.
This is one of those roses we would choose when a garden needs something distinctive rather than predictable. With healthy olive-green foliage, vigorous growth, good disease resistance and continuous flowering from spring until late autumn, Minerva brings refinement, fragrance and quiet drama to the garden.
