Roselilies

I am about to place an order for some Roselilys. I do have a couple of gardeners as I am not very knowledgeable about garden procedures, or the how, why and when of planting. I find your site very informative but would still like to know when the bulbs are actually sent.
We are very proud to say that we have just been accepted by The National Garden Scheme and would love them to come out if possible in June but think you say they come out in July, but I would still ike them.

Lastly I am sorry to say we do have quite a few squirrels, who in the past have eaten them all, and was therefore wondered if you have any ideas as how to keep them at bay.

Any help will be much appreceiated.

Hi there,

Our Roselilies are dispatched in February/March when they need planting. They will then flower July/August time and this can be dependant on the weather too.

With regards to the squirrels, you could protect your lily bulbs by covering them with chicken wire.

I believe there are some other squirrel deterrents you can purchase online, like fruit cages etc.
