Darlington Netherlands Florist Shrub Rose

We ship to all 50 states within the US from our licensed nursery in Portland, Oregon.

Due to restrictions on plant export, we do not ship outside of the US at this time.

We offer free standard USPS Ground Advantage shipping for orders over $100.

For orders less than $100, a flat fee of $10 will be applied.

In-stock roses are typically shipped within 10 business days. Out-of-stock varieties may be available as pre-orders with an additional 6–10 week wait time.

Kindly note that in-stock and pre-order items in the same order will be shipped together. Splitting orders may incur additional shipping fees.

Once shipped, transit time is typically:
• USPS Ground Advantage (3-5 business days)
• USPS Priority Mail (2-3 business days)
• UPS 3 Day Select (3 business days)

Please note that actual delivery times may vary. While we always aim to ship promptly, we cannot guarantee exact delivery dates due to occasional USPS delays or unforeseen changes in plant readiness. Some roses may require additional time to reach optimal health for shipping, especially during seasonal transitions.

In rare cases, we may also delay shipment due to extreme weather conditions to protect the health of your plants.

If your weather is not suitable for planting, you may choose to delay shipment for up to 12 months at no additional cost.

Please leave a note on the bottom of the shopping cart to indicate your preferred ship month.

Over 95% of our roses are own-root, propagated from cuttings.

Occasionally we may offer a grafted version for newer varieties. They are specified in the product description.

You will receive a healthy rose bush. The roots will be protected by plastic wrap.

We will defoliate and prune the stems prior to shipping. As a result, your rose bush will not come with leaves or flower buds. It will form new shoots and buds once planted in soil.

In winter months, we may elect to ship your rose with little or no soil as they are dormant.

We offer multiple sizes of rose bushes:

S: Your rose is 4-6 months old, grown in 4" pots.

M: Your rose is 1 year old, grown in 6" pots.

L: Your rose is 1.5-2 years old, grown in 8"-10" pots.

Individual sizes may vary depending on the variety of the rose.

Florist roses are typically bred for cut-flower use — they have long, straight stems, large symmetrical blooms, and a longer vase life, making them ideal for bouquets and arrangements. Garden roses, on the other hand, are grown for planting outdoors — they offer a wider variety of shapes, colors, and fragrances, often with more petals and a softer, more natural look, but they usually have shorter stems and a shorter vase life compared to florist roses.

At Highgarden Roses, we stand behind the quality of our plants. If your rose fails to survive within the first 30 days, we’ll make it right with a replacement store credit equal to the purchase price.

To qualify, the rose must show clear signs of failure to survive (e.g., brown, brittle canes, no living green tissue). Seasonal changes such as leaf drop, temporary transplant shock, or winter dormancy are not covered, as these are part of a rose’s natural growth cycle.

Please report any concerns within 30 days by emailing us with your order number and photos. 

We will issue store credit equal to the replacement cost of the rose, excluding taxes and shipping. Store credit can be used on any future purchases, excluding gift cards. Replacement credits do not expire.

All of our roses are grown outdoors in Portland, Oregon.

We ship all 12 months of the year.

Roses can be planted at any time except during extreme heat or cold. 

You can order your rose anytime and choose to delay shipment for up to 6 months.

Our roses are shipped semi-dormant in November, dormant from December to February, semi-dormant in early March, and non-dormant for the rest of the year.

Unfortunately we do not offer in-person pickup at this time.

Yes we are a licensed nursery registered with the Oregon Department of Agriculture.
