“From "twig" to astounding!”

Melissa N.
6/6/24

I purchased a few different bare root roses a few weeks ago. One was per my mother's request, a "Don Juan" red climber. It arrived as what I considered a "twig" lol. I am super new to roses & quite nervous. Anyway, I followed the planting instructions precisely. It's only been 2 weeks & it has quadrupled size already! I'm totally astounded!

“Buyer Beware”

David H.
9/28/24

Bought two roses (first time)- both were ridiculously small for the price. One did ok- the other never grew more than 12 inches tall and was so sickly I removed it. I have a strict routine of watering, pest control and fertilization- which Heirloom roses claims is too much watering and fertilization. I wonder why my other 13 co-located rose bushes- some of which I purchased from Walmart for $13- have grown 4-5 ft in the same time period. Seriously- this is a joke. I have years of experience successfully growing roses. Only buy from them if you have no other option

I purchased the Poet's Wife as I was looking for a sharp yellow rose. It is the most prolific of the three roses I purchased having about 7 blooms in the first year! However, it is not a sharp yellow, but a soft yellow. Regardless, it is beautiful and fragrant.

I love ordering roses from Heirloom. Their roses arrive healthy and vibrant. If ever I have any issues, I just have to reach out and someone from their staff will make it right. It's important to buy from family owned companies and I feel good about that.

Tip for consumers:
Support family owned businesses.

I recently looked back in my emails and saw that I have been ordering roses from Heirloom since 2015! Although the ownership has changes, they continue to be a vendor that I trust and enjoy doing business with. I recommend them wholeheartedly!

I ordered hot cocoa and Zepherine Drouhin. They were well packed for the trip. I planted them both the next day and so far they are doing great! New little healthy leaves are already emerging after 4 days! I know they are off to a great start, I anticipate gorgeous blooms coming seasons!

Reason I chose this business:

I had Zepherine Drouhin at my previous home and missed this rose! I did not think of it at the time with moving but I should have taken a cutting. So now I decided to get another one. When I saw on the website that Heirloom roses had it I jumped at the chance at having another one! They have an impressive variety of roses!

I ordered Mr Lincoln for the son of a lady who has recently died. Mr Lincoln was one of her favorite roses (mine too, the fragrance is divine) and so I thought this would be a living memory to her rather than cut flowers which fade and die soon. The order arrived on time, intact, with clear instructions for planting.

Reason I chose this business:

I have bought from Heirloom Roses previously and have always been happy with their roses, this was no exception.

I purchased my mother a gift certificate for Christmas a few years ago from Heirloom Roses. The rose bush arrived at my house perfectly packaged. They definitely take care to ensure that products arrive safely with no damage. This isn't very common with living items. The rose bush was so beautiful, also very healthy. The next several orders were the same. I have never had mail order living plants with such great quality. They also guarantee the roses for an entire year! Top quality items, weekly sales and discounts, and excellent customer service and support! Heirloom Roses has FREE shipping on every single order over $50

Tip for consumers:
Sign up for emails from this company. They send weekly sales and coupon codes as well as free shipping on every order over $50

Bought a rose, took awhile to ship but they gave me the shipping window up front when I ordered. Once it shipped it arrived in 4 days even with Memorial Day. I planted the rose on Tuesday and it is doing great. I followed the YouTube video and so far so good. Will buy again from them if I can find space in my garden.

It's not everyday that you can access the plethora of options and beautiful roses from a company and still get great customer service. During the busy spring season, it's normal to have an influx of calls and concerns from customers. I as a customer, like so many of us, understand the high volume while attempting to maintain brand loyalty. Even when one of my roses didn't make it through winter successfully, this company made the warranty process easier than I thought. The customer service is great.

Tip for consumers:
Choose great roses for your area. Please find your planting zone and if the roses you desire can flourish there. Care for them as directed and learn more from their site and YouTube channels. There are no refunds only store credit and/or replacement if you qualify—Which means do not use granular fertilizers for the first year and follow the instructions that come with your order or on their site. Roses can be a worthwhile investment. Please take care to inform yourself well!

I planned my rose garden out with Heirloom roses only. I spent the time researching just the right roses for my space. The website was so easy to navigate with all of the information needed based on Color, Size and Type. I now have 11 of my 13 roses in the ground. Cannot wait for the last two's availability.
I would never purchase from anyone else. These are the Best in Roses and customer service.

Reason I chose this business:

Best own root roses anywhere. Every time I have contacted Customer Service with an email I always receive a response back the same day.
The way that the roses come shipped, you can tell that Heirloom has really spent time figuring out the best way to get them to you.

Everything from ordering, customer service, shipment, arrival was perfection. This is a company that does things right and truly cares about their product and their customers. If you have been on the fence about trying one of their roses...just do it. You won't find better out there.

My concern was handled quickly and professionally, very impressive.

The roses are great, shipping through fedex got a bit confusing dates kept changing and location displayed incorrectly on site a few times. (example. At one point it told me it was in Oregon, but would be here the very next day. Switched to Wyoming, then jumped back to Oregon, and then it was just here. Didn't get an out for delivery notice until after it arrived.

Reason I chose this business:

The warranty and they have quality roses.

I am on my eighth and ninth roses ordered from Heirloom. They arrive well packed for shipping and healthy plants. All of the original six roses blossomed during our first season. Later shipments that were planted mid season have shown healthy growth. Heirloom will continue to be my choice of sourcing.

Heirloom was recommended by several in a Fb group for cut flowers.

Wonderful selection of roses and great customer service! But the important thing is the Type of plant. These have grown wonderfully since a planted them then left the country for 10 weeks, with housesitter car, but not my knowledgeable touch. I can't wait to watch them grow and hopefully won't have the problem some of my grafted roses have presented. One lavender rose had a red spot last year, and after the winter and pruning, the entire bush is coming back red. My deep yellows rose next to a white rose that has gone very pink, has lost it's vibrancy. I do have something going on in this garden, but I can tell these roses which have already bloomed in brilliant colors will stay that way. Hooray

So excited for the roses and your company prepared me partially. My strong recommendation is to make sure that all the important hints when you receive your roses are contained in the video AND on the box.

After trying to wait patiently for my roses [the delivery date/time was extended several times when weather was great], they finally arrived about 2 hours before rain/snow appeared.

The video got me partially ready, but I just learned on the box that I needed organic potting soil, bone meal, peat moss, and cow manure in order to plant. I had to quickly run out and go to a couple stores before I found what I needed. I got back minutes before it started to rain. I was at the garden center two days before the roses came and could have bought everything and be prepared to get them planted asap.

Reason I chose this business:

A friend had the most beautiful roses I ever saw and kindly gave me cuttings. I prefer selfishly to have some for myself and share with friends!

Terrific experience!

It's hard to give a good review until they've bloomed but I'm hopeful the 3 roses I ordered will be beautiful.

The shipping was delayed by 2 days so that was disappointing and the reason for one missing star. The packing was very well put together and I appreciate the instructions inside the box.

I purchased 9 roses from looking at the photos and the breeds. Two of the roses have turned out to be not to my expectations. Madame Anisette was a nuisance and has since been destroyed. I would suggest that customers to go and look at the roses in person which you cannot do at Heirloom.

I am concerned about Basye's Purple Rose will grow into a strong rose. Due to Highway 80 being closed for several days my shipment was delayed. All the roses did fine except for Basye. All of the branches on Basye are brown. However, the buds are still alive. I think this rose bush will really struggle.

Reason I chose this business:

I have purchased roses from HR for over 30 years.

My last review stated that I had called about 10 times and sent 3 emails and no one got back to me about my order. When I finally put in a dispute to paypal to refund me, I received a call that day (of course I was busy and couldn't answer). I did receive the rose bush the following day, and it is in healthy condition, albeit small. However, I never received shipping info and did not know it was arriving. So for me, the product is fine but the customer service makes me want to never do business with them again. So I give them 4 stars for product, 0 for customer service.

Brenda, I'm sorry you were not pleased with our customer service team. We have recently hired more employees and are training them so we can increase the number of care representatives to respond to inquiries. I'm glad you are pleased with your roses. We will continue to work hard to improve our response time especially in this busy growing season. We are confident that your own-root rose will sink its roots deep in your garden and outperform grafted roses in the next growing season. Happy planting!

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that your rose didn’t meet your expectations.

It’s important to note that own-root and grafted roses do grow differently in their first year. Grafted roses often appear larger as they establish on their rootstock, while own-root roses focus on developing a strong root system. In the first year, own-root roses tend to produce slimmer canes, but after their first pruning, their growth becomes more robust, often surpassing grafted roses in overall longevity and health.

Regarding your warranty request, we regret that we could not approve it due to the presence of rose rosette disease, which is spread by mites and unfortunately not covered under our warranty. While this disease isn’t a reflection of your care, we did also advise that weekly fertilizing and daily watering may not be the best approach for young own-root roses, as they require more balanced care during their establishment phase.

We completely understand how disappointing it is to lose a rose, especially to something as unpredictable as rose rosette disease. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any further questions or need assistance.
