Printable version

BEST SELLER! Roselily Anouska is slightly different to the other Roselilies as it can in fact contain pollen. That said, Anouska is absolutely stunning and produces large pink-edged, white frilly flowers that will grow to 70cm in its first year.

Anouska is unbelievably popular amongst our customers as it sells out everywhere we exhibit it! And it's easy to see why! It really is the perfect flower for your patio pots, garden borders or cut for indoor vases. Plant Anouska on its own in a pot or team it alongside other Roselilies like Isabella, Natalia and Aisha for a stunning bouquet style display!

All our Roselilies are perfect for flower arranging especially for wedding bouquets and table decorations as they are just so romantically pretty.

Hart's Hint

"Plant in ericaceous compost in pots with added grit for drainage. If you are using the roselilies for cut flower purposes, ensure to leave 2ft of stem after cutting to allow the remaining stem and foliage to die back naturally and put the energy back into the bulb so they will flower again the following year!"

How to plant Roselilies

Roselily Bulbs should be planted as soon as possible. Ideally in the Spring but can be planted up until the Autumn.
Find a location with full sun or partial shade with well-drained soil.
Roselilies tend to grow exceptionally well in pots and tubs.
Plant the bulbs with 4-6" of soil above them.

Planting Roselilies in the Garden

Find a location with full sun or partial shade with well-drained soil.
Roselilies prefer an Acidic/Ericaceous Soil type. They do not tolerate Lime very well.
Arrange the Lilies in an odd-number grouping.
Plant the bulbs about 12-20cm (5-8") apart.
Space the groupings at least 60-90cm (2-3ft) apart.
Plant the bulbs with 10-15cm (4-6") of soil above them.

Planting Roselilies in Pots

Find a location with full sun or partial shade with well-drained soil.
Plant 3 bulbs in a 10-14" 'patio type' pot using good-quality, multi-purpose compost.
John Innes No. 3 is ideal for lilies.
Plant the bulbs with 10-15" (4-6") of soil above them.
Ensure there is adequate drainage.

Lily bulb compost

This question was asked by - Justine S

Hello, I have bought the following lilies from you. Lily Sunny Martinique and Roselily Anouska. when I looked at buying John Innes Number 3 it stated it was for mature plants. Is this the correct compost for the above lilies? Best wishes, Justine.

Hi Justine Yes John Innes No 3 is recommended for most lilies. If it appears too dense add some horticultural grit and peat-free multi-purpose compost or leaf mould to improve drainage.

Will you be getting any more Roselily Anouska bulbs back in stock soon. Thank you

Sorry we are completely out of Stock of Anouska. Have you seen Lilium Beauty Trend which is a double Oriental Lily with a stunning scent? This is very similar to Lilium Anouska.

ADVICE ON LILY TYPE

This question was asked by
- P. Baird

We live in the Highlands and want to grow some lilies that should flower early August - in time for the Black Isle Show. We can grow outside or in a poly tunnel. Bye the bye we have not enjoyed the Show nearly as much since you stopped having a stall there.

Hi there

Roselilies would be a good variety for flowering in August.
Aw, we do miss the show - sorry.

Roselily Annouska

This question was asked by
- Christine S

I've had my Anouska in a container for two years. Should I repot, take the bulbs out completely and over winter? Any advice please. Many thanks and what stunners they are. Christine

Hi Christine

If you have noticed there are lots of splindly stems shooting through then yes, you can lift the bulbs (once everything has completely died back) and break off the baby bulblets and repot them all giving them a tomato feed when you start to see new signs of growth in the spring. You can keep them in the pot over winter.

What soil to plant lilies in?

This question was asked by - Chris R

Please advise best soil/compost to plant the following Lilies in: Viola Anouska Shine On These were purchased at Chelsea show and will be in large pots/tubs Many thanks Chris

Hi there,

All of those lilies will be happy in a good-quality multipurpose compost or John Innes No. 3. You could always mix 50:50 using both the Multipurpose and JI No.3 for the perfect mix. Ensure your pot has adequate drainage holes as lilies will rot if that are sat in water.

Anouska Lily

This question was asked by - Sahil -

Hi there! I hope all is well. We absolutely loved the lilies that we got from you at the end of this year's Chelsea Flower Show. I wanted to check-in to ask when the Anoushka will likely be available for purchase? I remember that you said it would likely be up on the site 2-3 weeks after the show, so I was wondering if that was still true so that I do not miss the chance to buy them for my mom. Best wishes, Sahil

Hi there,

Sorry for not replying sooner. I wanted to email when Anouska were back in stock... and they now are! Roselily 'Anouska' (SKU17779)

Care Instructions

How to care for Roselilies

Roselilies can tolerate very cold conditions but they do not like to get wet.
If planting in borders in the garden, the soil must be well drained and, preferably, humus rich.
If planting in pots, make sure lilies are kept moist but do not get waterlogged.
Lilies prefer to be planted in a location with at least half a day’s full sunshine, if it’s a bit too shady they will lean their stems towards the sun.
Lily bulbs do not like to be dried out so they must be kept in soil at all times.
Try to plant your lilies where they will dry out after rain to prevent Botrytis, a fungus that spots the leaves. If you do see brown spots on your leaves, spray with a fungicide recommended for roses.
If planting in pots, it may be an idea to tilt the pots on their side in the winter to prevent waterlog.
When the Lily has finished flowering, cut any seed heads back and allow the foliage to die back naturally. Do not be tempted to cut the stem back until stems becomes hollow and brown.
Lilies like a cold dormant phase throughout the winter so they don't need lifting. However, do ensure they have adequate drainage and do not get waterlogged as this will cause the bulbs to rot.
After a few years of flowering, you may find your Roselily produces less blooms, it may be time to lift your bulbs and divide them by breaking off the bulblets. All the bulbs will then need replanting.
To prevent Lily Beetles from damaging your lilies, we recommend using the Lily Beetle Prevention Spray or you can make up your own with the Concentrate. This Spray (Grazers G4) will also stimulate growth of your lilies.
You can feed your lilies with a Tomato Feed to stimulate and strengthen your lilies when you start to see signs of growth. Make up your tomato feed with half the recommended dilution (written on the instructions on the bottle) and feed once every 3 weeks.
