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.
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.
Shopped with ease. Stock arrives well packaged, healthy. Blooms on all varieties ordered first season. Looking forward to expanding rose garden in the future.
Informative site so that reasonable choices for planting zone could be made.
I was to receive my Impressionist rose May 1, was notified in late April that it would come shortly. It was shipped April 28 (per Heirloom). In early May got a notice from FedEx that there was some sort of unspecified problem. It did not arrive till 5/9. I would say that is an unsatisfactorily long trip. Some of the smallest branches were starting to yellow. Perhaps you need to change your shipper. FedEx was a disaster. I think the rose may be ok - I soaked it well and planted per your instructions. At least I hope so. This is no way to ship live plant material. At least it was beautifully packed. Now - fingers crossed!
I have always been afraid to grow roses. Last fall, I made the jump and purchased two rose bushes(Peace and Touch of Class) from Heirloom Roses. I watched the YouTube videos provided on the website and gained a ton of knowledge. Touch of class had one bloom before winter and have had multiple blooms this spring. Peace did not bloom in fall and has produced beautiful blooms this spring. I could not be happier!
Celeste, welcome to the joy of roses! You did it! So glad you chose the best roots to get your garden started. Way to go!
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 can't wait to see these roses thrive in my garden. I was super pleased with how well packed they came when they arrived. Nothing spilled or broken. They have already put new growth on since I've received them. Rebekah was super helpful in helping me pick roses with the colors and fragrance level I like. Heirloom Roses has helpful videos about their roses, how they are prepped for shipping and how to care for them.
Thank you, Debbie! We are so glad to hear that your roses arrived safely. We work hard to ensure they are packed well to make the journey from Oregon all the way to your garden. So glad Rebekah was helpful! Happy growing! - Robin
I am very happy with the safety and condition of my Nono rose! Your company sends too many emails. I should have received a catalog with my order. I don't know any other company that doesn't practice this.
This was my first time to order from Heirloom Roses and I was not very pleased. I received and email with a video explaining how I should expect to receive my rose. The package was delayed by several days and when it arrived, it was missing the rod to keep the plant from shifting in the box, the plant itself was protruding out of the box, and the contents of the container (dirt and rose plant) were emptied into the bag it was wrapped in. This was ordered as a Mother's Day gift, so it was quite an embarrassing gift to give. I also am not sure if the plant will live considering the condition in which it was received.
Hello Bethany,
We see one of our Customer Care representatives reached out about your order. We are so sorry to hear that your order was damaged in transit. If you can reply to the rep with photos, we can file a claim with the carrier and get this resolved for you. We look forward to hearing back from you!
They shipped me two rose bushes with rose rosettes disease and refused to honor the warranty in a reply from the company on April 5,2025 after I contacted them on April 4,2025. Update 4/9/25 = The company rep has since become combative - insisting that I did not give them time to reply even though my reviews were posted on April 5,2025 after their first reply on April 5,2025. They stated before honoring the warranty, they want me to remove this review from trustpilot. I told them no and that I would not update any review until they honored their warranty on their end. I have never had a company make such a demand before. I will be on edge for the next 9 months watching to see if my other 12 rose bushes were contaminated from the diseased bushes sent from Heirloom Roses. So far, there are no signs on my existing bushes but the incubation period is long. 2 rose bushes from COSTCO have been planted to replace the heirloom diseased bushes. The Costco ones look great so far. You can see from their reply to this post how they do business with consumers. I hope my review is helpful to others looking to make a purchase with the company. I would be hesitant to accept any replacement from this company due to the risk they have brought to my yard. My whole rose garden might be wiped out because of their negligence.
We take reports of Rose Rosette Disease (RRD) seriously. It’s a viral issue spread by windborne mites and can be introduced into any landscape by insects, tools, or even clothing. Thanks to our strict health protocols—including viral indexing, pest management, and regular inspections by the Oregon Department of Agriculture—we do not have RRD in our fields, and all roses are shipped disease-free. If we had any reason to believe the issue originated from our nursery, we would have gladly brought the roses back for testing.
We understand the disappointment of losing a rose. In good faith, we offered a courtesy replacement outside of our warranty guidelines to assist in establishing your garden this growing season.
To be clear, you submitted a survey reply during off hours and we replied the first business day we were in the office.
As previously communicated, our roses are shipped disease-free, and we follow strict health and safety protocols to ensure their quality. We remain committed to resolving issues fairly and reasonably.
At this point, we consider this matter resolved. Thank you for your understanding.

I wasn't allowed to request a delivery time after the last frost date for my area. Then the rose was delivered late, on a three-day weekend and had to sit who knows where. However I expect the rose to thrive, as others that I've received from Heirloom Roses have.
During check out, US customers may choose a requested arrival date for their order. Canadian customers may select a requested ship week. Enter your address and you will receive an estimated transit time for your package. We recommend choosing a ship date that works best for planting in your hardiness zone. To protect our roses from extreme weather changes, we sometimes defoliate the plant and ship them with limited foliage. This helps roses stay healthy throughout the shipping process. We guarantee that your roses will arrive healthy and hardy. Leaves will begin to grow within 2-3 weeks of planting. If you need assistance regarding how to care for your roses until the weather warms, please feel free to visit our website or contact our team at 800-820-0465.
Rose plant arrived with all leaves dried like a crisp and dead. Stems very skinny and dark. 3 years ago the plants from heirloom used to arrive very healthy. Despite this they have asked me to plant the sad plant and save complaining for after a year has lapsed, but certainly it is not off to the running start I expected.
Vijay, I'm sorry your rose arrived like that. If you contact us at info@heirloomroses.com and put ATTN: Robin in the header we can help you with this. I'm curious to know your location to see how long the rose was in transit. The canes look healthy, so a removal of the dead leaves and a good drink of water should perk it up but I want to make sure you are cared for. So I do hope you will reach out and let us resolve this for you.
If I could leave no stars I would. My card was compromised (which they verified with an email newsletter) after making my very first purchase on their site. I spent well over a week disputing fraudulent charges with one still making it through. I am still working on the entire case, yet their email states they will not be responsible for any of the fraudulent charges that occur nor have they offered any sort of compensation or even something as minimal as a coupon code. I spent well more on them than it was worth given the hours I've spent working on reversing the charges. Avoid this company at all costs, they simply don't care about customer service. And, all of this has happened BEFORE I've even received the product I paid for.
Julie, I'm sorry to hear that your information was compromised. We did have a security breach in August of 2021 and quickly disabled our site until we were able to remove all malicious code. We sent out an email to those that we knew were affected and then sent out a letter to a larger selection of customers than those who were compromised just to be safe and make sure everyone was cared for with our free offer of credit monitoring.We have upgraded our check out system to be through Paypal and Braintree to ensure added encryption and safety. I apologize for the lost time you had while handling the security breach. We understand your frustration and never intended to be compromised by hackers. It has been extremely frustrating for us as well. We care very much for our customers and would love to help make this right. Please email us at info@heirloomroses.com and let them know that Robin sent you and we would like to do what we can to restore your trust in our company and our new, secure site. - Robin
I received 2 roses that were completely duds, and I've grown roses before, treated these well and did all I can to see if they'll live. I wrote an email to customer service over a week ago, still no response. I tried to call the customer service number but after waiting for over 30 mins, still no answer. They say they can call back. No call back.
Please save your money and do not order from this company.
Hi Anna,
Our records indicate that our customer service team left you a voicemail at 7:52AM this morning approving your warranty and resolving the issue.
Thank you,
Matt
I purchased three types of roses from
Them. The flower bulb did not bloom. It died before it completely bloom. The stem seems to be weak. I followed instructions to fertilize and water regularly. So I emailed heirloom roses with pictures to ask for advices. I did not get any response. They have poor communication for follow up care.
Winnie, I'm sorry to hear that you are unhappy with the service we provided. I show that you emailed us on April 27th and our assistant grower, Adrian, responded to you two days later with his analysis of your roses. Your roses are doing just great. They have huge blooms which is why you see them leaning over under the weight. This is normal for a climber like this. Adrian also let you know that all large fully-double roses like Earth Angel will tilt their heads forward as a means of supporting the heavy flowers. If you are looking for a more upright rose, I would suggest a hybrid tea which have stronger stems and make good cutting roses. Happy planting!
I have not and will not purchase roses or anything else from these people because they are abusive at their email marketing and you can't unsubscribe - no provision for that on their website you can only sign up you can't unsubscribe. Plus they never answer their phone, just endless music hold. They don't answer direct emails either. So if a rose bush was purchased and you needed to ask questions or get help there would be no way all you'd get is endless SALES emails. Several every single day.
Sarah, I am sorry that you are having difficulty unsubscribing from our email campaigns. In the bottom of each email is an "unsubscribe" button that you can click to remove your email from our list or to edit the frequency with which you receive emails. We hope that we will be able to send you your first rose soon when you decide to make a purchase for the first time!
I paid over $140 for four rose bushes. They arrived past planting season in one cardboard box, each individually wrapped in plastic. I planted them per directions. Three of them are now dead and the last bush is dying. I reached out to Heirloom Roses for help multiple times however their response was that I used the wrong fertilizer, despite it being the fertilizer from their website. They refused to give me a refund or a credit. Don't buy your plants from Heirloom roses unless you like them dead.
Bridget, I'm sorry that you had difficulty with your roses. Did Customer Care reach back out to you? We would like to help restore your trust in both our roses and our premiere roses. Please contact us at info@heirloomroses.com and put ATTN: Robin in the subject line. We will get this sorted for you as quickly as possible. -Robin
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.
I have been buying roses from Heirloom for several years. All the roses have come nicely packaged with healthy roses. I love the fact that their roses are own root and not grafted. In all these years, I have had one issue about a wrong rose, they promptly returned my email and fixed the problem. Love this company!
Michelle, thanks for the lovely review. We agree wholeheartedly. The best roses start with the best roots. That's why we ONLY grow own-root roses. We appreciate you!
I have written 3 emails and called at least 10 times. The phone is never answered no matter how long you wait. There is an option to have them call you back, I selected that, they never called. Not worth the hassle, no matter how pretty the roses look. I disputed my purchase with Paypal after I could not reach them and if Paypal won't help me, I'll contact the credit card company, but I am not doing business with a company that is completely unreachable. That is simply ridiculous and bad business.
Heirloom Roses has a data breach in August 2021 with subsequent breaches through October 2021 even though they supposedly took steps to secure their website. It took the another two months to notify customers that they might have been victim of a potential breach of personal information. Essentially 5 months from realization of the breach are customers notified. Why not sooner? What's worse is how could they claim the website was secure if breaches continued until October 2021. Irresponsible.

Answer: I bought from Heirloom Roses because of the amazingly beautiful selection of roses they offer plus their customer service is beyond excellent.
Answer: I live in 8b and prune in November. Watch the weather as they should tell you when six weeks before the first frost happens. I prune again in April after the last frost and before the buds turn red and swell.
