The
Roses:
Our roses are grown and shipped to you in quart-size pots, 4½
inches square at the top and 5 inches deep. All are on their
own roots and approximately 1 year old. Since they are growing
in pots, they can be planted out as soon as you receive them,
or live in their containers for a few days until planting is
convenient. We overwinter them in cold greenhouses and they may
be breaking dormancy or fully leafed out when we ship them, depending
on the season. Planting instructions are included.
Shipping: Rose shipping
starts in February and continues through November, depending
on your preferred planting time. Please request a ship date that
will ensure that the roses are not subject to hard frosts or
excessive heat. We ship early in the week, usually via UPS or
Priority Mail, trying to ensure that your roses arrive safely
by Friday. If you have a carrier preference, please mention it
on your order form. Because shipping rates are higher to more
distant parts of the country, we use three different shipping
zones, according to the state the shipment is going. The chart
is shown at the bottom of the order form. Priority Mail rates
to Hawaii, Alaska and Puerto Rico are in region C. Sorry, we
cannot ship to Canada or overseas.
Pricing: All roses are
$11.95 to $14.95 each, plus applicable shipping costs. Visit
our On-Line Shopping pages for current specials and availability.
Shipping
and handling for one or two roses: $8.00
Additional roses (each): $1.00
Additional shipping to region B: $4.95 or
region C: $7.95 (please see order form)

Gift
Certificates:
If youre looking for an unusual gift for your rose-loving
friends and family members, we will happily provide gift certificates.
They can be for a specific dollar amount or for the rose of your
choice. Please ask us for details.
Wholesale: Prospective wholesale
customers may request our wholesale ordering and availability
information (not all of our roses are on the wholesale list).
Our minimum wholesale order is 60 roses, in multiples of five
per variety.
Hardiness: Plant hardiness
is difficult to quantify, since so much of a rose's success is
dependent on local temperature fluctuations, snow cover, and
individual care. In our rose descriptions, hardiness zones are
in parentheses and refer to USDA Hardiness Zones. Lower numbers
represent colder regions and higher numbers indicate warmer climates.
Where two numbers are given, i.e., Zone 5-6, winter protection
is suggested in the colder zone. Most of our roses are hardy
to at least Zone 5 (-15 to -20 average winter lows), with many
hardy to Zones 4 or 3. We carry a few tender roses for growers
in milder climates or for those who want to grow roses in containers.
Our
Guarantee:
We hope that you will be exceptionally happy with the quality
of our roses. We guarantee them to be true to name, healthy and
ready to grow when they leave our care. We cannot be responsible
for local growing conditions such as unseasonal freezes, extreme
heat or drought. If you have questions or concerns about your
roses, please contact us within ten days of their arrival, and
we will do our best to ensure your satisfaction.
Availability
of Roses:
We try to maintain good supplies of our roses throughout the
year. Due to the vagaries of rose propagation, some varieties
may be ready to ship in the fall rather than spring, so check
with us about our current availability list. We do not automatically
back-order roses, but will do so at your request and notify you
when the rose becomes available.
We appreciate
your business and look forward to working with you. We hope that
you will have years of enjoyment from growing these remarkable
roses.
