Your rose will form new shoots and buds once planted in soil.

Kindly note that in-stock and pre-order items in the same order will be shipped together.

Guarantee

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.

Helen Rose did not look good

When I received the roses the Helen Rose did not look good. One branch was yellow green and another branch was brown. The Jude The Obscure rose looked pretty good.

Healthy and vigorous rose!

This rose arrived in great condition and has been growing beautifully every day, even in the Georgia heat. This is my second purchase from Highgarden Roses and both are thriving in my garden.

Dear Rebecca,

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review for our rose. We are thrilled to hear that it arrived in great condition and is thriving in your garden, even in the Georgia heat. We appreciate your continued support and hope to provide you with more healthy and vigorous roses in the future.

If you ever need anything else or have any questions, feel free to reach out. Thanks again for choosing Highgarden Roses!

Best regards,

Doing well two weeks in

Ownroot roses were not shipped bare - they had most root balls and some foliage. They are growing more quickly than bare root plants, showing new foliage within one week of being planted. Time will tell, but this looks quite promising.

Hi Jeffrey,

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review. We are thrilled to hear that your rose is doing well after two weeks. We take great care in shipping our semi-ownroot roses with as much root ball and foliage as possible, and we're glad to hear that they are growing quickly for you. We hope this promising start continues and your rose brings you joy for years to come. Thank you again for choosing our product. Happy gardening!

Best regards,
Argel

not quite up to expectations

Not quite as expected.
I had asked for the plants to be delivered the first week of April. They arrived the third - at which time I could do nothing but open the package, throw some water over them and put them in a cool dark place.
I ordered two plants. One arrived fully leafed out - which it shouldn't have been, based on 50 years of ordering bare-root plants - the other, quite dead. Not dark green and shrivelled, but dead.
When I did manage to get them out and to the pre-prepared plot, I found the root balls completely, and intentionally, impacted, compacted, and impossible to tease out. Perhaps they will grow this way, but being so ingrown, they will never produce healthy plants.
The packaging was far from professional. Using (tax-payer funded) USPS mailing enveloped for protection is simply - clever, but unprofessional. If you want to cut costs, you might consider collecting cardboard from behind shops! But this, though effective, was unprofessional.
So. I have some hope for the one plant, which has been in the ground nearly a week, and no hope for the dead one, which I planted beside it, 'in case'. In all, not what I had hoped, or expected, and a bit pricey for what I actually received.

Hi S.E.,

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. I’m truly sorry to hear that it didn’t meet your expectations, and I appreciate the opportunity to clarify a few points.

When you placed your order, you initially asked for shipping “as late as possible,” ideally in April. You later revised your request to the first week of April, and we did our best to accommodate that adjustment. As noted on our website, customers may indicate a preferred shipping month, but not an exact delivery date, as timing depends on plant readiness, weather, and logistics.

Our roses are own-root, not bare-root and they are shipped year-round. It's completely normal, and even healthy, for them to arrive leafed out in spring. This reflects natural seasonal growth and is not a cause for concern.

The roots may appear compact, but they will naturally expand once planted. Teasing them apart is not recommended, as it may cause damage to the plant during this delicate stage.

We were also disappointed to hear that one of the roses did not survive. However, we’d like to note that we did not receive any photos or communication from you. We have a warranty program in place and are always happy to provide replacement credits for roses that arrive in non-viable condition, but we do rely on customers to reach out so we can help.

If you still have the plant and are able to send a photo, we’d be glad to assist. We truly value your support and hope to restore your confidence in our roses.

Best,
Evelyn

Moab Ecuador Florist Shrub Rose

Healthy Moab Rose Bush and Great Customer Service

I ordered a Moab rose bush back in late August. I realized after looking at the delivery time frame that I was likely to be out of town when the rose bush arrived. I reached out to see if I could delay delivery, and I was quickly responded to and helped. We set the delivery date to the day I arrived back in town. As promised, I received a confirmation email that the rose bush was shipped on that day. The rose bush arrived 2 days later in perfect condition with new growth. I was so thrilled with my purchase I ordered three more rose bushes the other day to be delivered in early May 2026. From my experience, I would highly recommend this company and their beautiful roses.

I’ve ordered over 15 roses with 5 different times during Summer to Fall and they never disappointed me!

Their collection is amazing—I feel like I can find my entire wishlist on their website.

The quality is excellent!

the canes always arrive big and healthy, even after traveling for over a week. I’m always so happy with my orders, and I’ve even been able to find rare varieties that are usually hard to get anywhere else!

• 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.

Can you postpone shipment?

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.

Are your roses own-root or grafted?

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.

Are your roses potted or bare root?

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.

What is the difference between S, M, and L?

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.

What are the differences between florist and garden roses?

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.

What is your return policy?

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.

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

Are you affiliated with rose breeders or third party growers?
