“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

When you are sending a sympanthy plant it is best for them to get it before people forget someone even died. Took 3 weeks and STILL not received. No good way to track. Unacceptable and can't get anyone from the company to own up to what happened. WARNING - DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY

I ordered from Heirloom Roses for several years, for roses for myself and for gifts to various family, spending close to $1000 over recent years.

Last Fall, in two separate orders, I paid for 12 roses, planting them as soon as I received them. This Spring, 4 were dead though the other 8 are doing fine.

Per the company's "guaranteed" warranty, I put in for a credit for the 4 dead roses. After an extended wait, I received two emails denying the refunds. (They claimed I did not submit photos – a LIE.) When I immediately wrote disputing their decision, Heirloom claimed I planted them after the first frost, another LIE. I followed that up by sending a 2020 temperature chart for my location and they wrote back that the roses did not receive enough sunlight. ANOTHER LIE – the sunlight averaged 11 hours per day at the time I planted them.

I tried to call, to speak to a human being, and was on hold for almost a half hour until I gave up. Heirloom's "customer service" is abysmal and the warranty is absolute nonsense. But the company at its heart is dishonest and if anyone thinks they will honor their guarantee, they will be in for a shock.

Do not buy from this company. I never will again.

Heirloom Roses has the most amazing selection of roses, like none I've ever seen on any other website, it's difficult to decide what to buy. The rose bushes I've received were in excellent condition and larger compared to what you usually receive from online websites. The customer service I've received has always been superior. They respond quickly and address all my questions and concerns with professional guidance which is so appreciated by a novice like me. This past winter I lost 7 of my roses. I submitted my claims. I also tried to place an order online but wasn't able to complete it. I called customer service expecting to have to fight for my warranty. I was so pleasantly surprised by the customer service representative I spoke with. She apologized for my difficulty placing an order and explained they were experiencing a glitch in the system and were working on it. She took my phone number and said she would research my damage claims and call me back. True to her word she called and gave me full credit with free shipping for all 7 roses. She also helped me place my order. She reviewed everything that we had discussed and then helped place a second order using some of my store credit. She was so patient and genuinely concerned that all my questions and concerns were resolved. She even sincerely asked me to send a picture of my garden. This was, without a doubt, the best customer service I have ever received from anyone. Heirloom Roses has gained a lifelong loyal customer because of their beautiful roses and excellent customer service.

There was a mistake. Made on shipping date. I contacted the company & it was immediately corrected. The roses arrived as scheduled in excellent condition.

I did in my comments.

Reason I chose this business:

Own root roses in igallon size co trainers are easy to plant & hardy. The roses I ordered last year look good, I'm looking forward to bud break & their 2nd season.

I wish I had read other review sites or looked at better business bureau site before buying. I put low review on heirloom site and took it but next day was gone. Did not surprise me after past few weeks I have tried to get hold of them.
My story
Last year my mom Louise died of broken heart (literally) after her sister Violet died of Covid. Both in their early 90s. They lived next door to each other since 1976. They had grown up 18 months apart in peach orchard in same town as lived. Someone had given money for their death for flowers and they both loved roses. I found at Heirloom the roses called Violet's Pride and one called Louise Clements that was beautiful peach color. I have grown many roses but never ordered from Heirloom. Took few months to get both of these. Planted as was given instructions.
Both died before first year was up.
Customer service!?! I don't believe they have one. I left my return number and name and why calling several times and never got call back. I even held phone on hold listening to their hold music for 45 minutes and next day while painting I called on speaker and held for other 2 hours on hold and no one answered. I sent in emails to their site. And automatic email is returned right away. As fast as it came there was no person involved from them.
Never got a true email from them about my problem.
What I did get was 2 or more ad emails from them
Nothing resolved for me so customer service maybe they need help

Sandra, first of all, I am terribly sorry to hear about the loss of your mother and her sister. That is tragic and I'm sure you are grieving immensely. We know how much roses can soothe grief and the joy gardening can bring. I would like to help you replace these roses, both excellent choices. Unfortunately, I am unable to tell from the photo what you planted the roses in. We definitely will honor our one year guarantee. We just need some more information on how we can help. In addition, I apologize for the long wait times. We have been understaffed and had many people sick (illness and Covid) so our team, like most companies nowadays, is short staffed. We have recently hired five new customer care team members to help speed up our response time. Please email us at info@heirloomroses.com with the subject line ATTN: Robin and I will get this resolved for you ASAP.

Worse customer service ever! They will not do anything to ensure they have happy customers. They will do absolutely zero things for you after you hit the "place order" button. Once they get your money, you are just a transaction that they don't really care. Considering how much they charge for their rose plant in a one gallon size you would expect at least some kind of customer service or customer care... Their products are almost twice as expensive for the David Austin roses but yet they give you almost no guarantee at all. You are much better of ordering from David Austin website directly gives five years almost unconditional warranty on their roses. I never had problem with other rose growers in regards to any customer service or inquiries except with Heirloom. I ordered from this company because of their larger selections. I guess the only reason that Heirloom Roses is in business despite their horrendous customer service is that they have a larger commercial operation than many other rose growers. They are able to offer a lot of selection year round. I doubt the owner really care how their employees treat its customers because they don't have strong enough competitors yet. If you can avoid it, order from other sites such as David Austin Roses, Regan Nursery, Antique Roses Emporium, Chamblee Roses, Hummingbird Rose, Burlington Rose... you will be glad you save yourself a lot of frustration and regrets. The present Heirloom Roses is no longer the same company that I ordered from many years ago - at least at that time they cared about their customer satisfaction - but no more now!

Ordered 3 Angel Face roses. Roses received were in great shape, already leafing out; after spending a week in a very sturdy cardboard box. Videos about planting and 1st year care were perfect.

Reason I chose this business:

A friend recommended and roses are not grafted. Also the spring sale made the decision easy.

**UPDATE: Since I wrote this review and the business responded, I have been in touch with them. They have now issued me store credit for the 2 rose bushes that died. This is fine with me since I only wanted them replaced, not money back. Therefore I am upgrading my review to be more favorable. Ty, Gina. I do appreciate it
I bought 6 rose bushes. The last 2, I had to wait a while for shipping which was no problem. However, the last two also died. They were treated exactly the same as the others I received. I suspect they were not fully ready to be shipped. I could even accept that, however they will not honor their return/replacement policy. I thought the roses from this smaller company would be superior to others, but now I will go back to Jackson & Perkins. The roses aren't as expensive, they have superior customer service, and they actually stand behind their products and guarantee. Boo, Heirloom Roses. At ~~$100 for 2 rose bushes +s/h, you should be ashamed of yourselves for not honoring your guarantee.

Tip for consumers:
You may need to fight in order to use the warranty/replacement policy. Take lots of photos and document absolutely everything.

Hi Ellen,

Thank you for the review. We are sorry to hear that you are disappointed with your purchase. All of our roses will be smaller than a rose purchased at a Home Depot store because Home Depot roses will almost always be grafted. At Heirloom Roses, all of our roses are own-root which take longer to develop, propagate, and take care of, however, they will produce more blooms, be hardier, and not have any root suckers in their development. We hope that you will give the rose some time to flourish and then compare and contrast the two.

Wishing you a happy growing season,

Matthew

We at Heirloom Roses work diligently to ensure our customers receive the best roses possible. If the shipping was delayed until May, this was necessary to allow the rose more time to grow and ensure it is up to quality standards before we ship them.

I planted the two roses as soon as they arrived, but they looked pretty spindly, no leaves, just stems.
Hopefully they will sprout new leaves soon and develop a little before winter.

There are multiple complaints about this company! If they send you inferior plants, you have absolutely no recourse in spite of their "guarantee". You will be required to fill out MULTIPLE forms, submit pictures, fill out more forms, only to be denied a request for a REPLACEMENT (not a refund) and you will have to pay to ship even if, on the RARE occasion, your request for STORE CREDIT is honored!

Tip for consumers:
Do not order from Heirloom Roses. ANY other company guarantees roses that at least arrive alive!
