Why Choose Roselilies


Roselily ‘Elena’

Roselilies are a newer line of pollen-free, double-flowering oriental lilies. These lilies were developed by ‘De Looff’ Lily Breeding & Innovation Company, and only a few years after they started breeding lilies they discovered a spontaneous mutation – a double-flowering lily they named the roselily for its similarities to a rose.

Roselily ‘Julia’

Roselilies prefer ericaceous (acidic) compost and like to be planted in a sunny position. There are a wide variety of colours with some having the speckles of some more commonly known lilies. Some varieties of roselily can grow up to 100cm tall, with most averaging around 70-80cm.

Roselily ‘Annika’
and Roselily ‘Editha’

They are highly scented making them a great addition to not only your garden but they also make brilliant cut flowers for inside your home. They tend to be quite hardy and last a few days longer than traditional lilies for a longer vase life. As they are hardy they are perfect for use in floral arrangements for special occasions or in wedding bouquets. In fact, they are perfect for wedding bouquets as they don’t contain the pollen that could potentially stain. If you are using roselilies as cut flower, they can last up to 14 days when cared for properly. Cut between 4-5cm off the bottom of the stem, ensure no leaves are touching the water, regularly add and replace dirty water and add cut flower food if you have some.
