All roses are live rooted plants. We do not sell cut flowers.

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.

We accept payments from major credit cards including Visa, MasterCard, Discover, American Express, and Diners Club.

For your convenience, we also offer Express Checkout via Apple Pay, Google Pay, Amazon Pay, Paypal, Meta Pay and Shop Pay.

No sales tax will be collected as we are located in Portland, Oregon.

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 roses now and choose to delay shipment for up to 6 months at no cost.

Please leave a note during checkout to indicate your preferred shipping month.

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

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.

All of our roses are grown in small batches to ensure quality standards.

As a result, some roses may sell out shortly after it's restocked. If possible, order early to ensure availability of your favorite rose.

Some roses are available as pre-order and you may purchase them with an additional 6-10 week wait time.

You may also sign up for back-in-stock alerts on the product page.

You are always welcome to contact us to inquire about a particular rose's availability.

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.

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.

Occasionally we may send you a size bigger than the one you purchased, but not vice versa.
