ORDER

Do you sell cut flowers or shrub roses?

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

What forms of payment do you accept?

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.

How much sales tax will I have to pay?

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

Do you sell roses year round?

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.

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.

How do I order a rose that's currently out of stock?

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.

Do preorders incur charges immediately or upon shipping?

Our system will charge you immediately, but you retain the option to cancel the order at any time prior to shipment. Please note that a 5.5% fee is applied to cover for nonrefundable payment processing fees. In the event that we are unable to ship your order on time, you are entitled to a full refund without any fees.

Can I change my order after it's been placed?

We’re happy to accommodate order changes (such as variety swaps, address updates, or shipping delays) if your request is received before the fulfillment process begins.

Fulfillment starts when we begin picking and packing your roses - this may occur before a shipping label is printed or tracking is issued. Once we’ve started preparing your order, we’re unable to make changes due to the perishable nature of live plants.

Please contact us as soon as possible if you need to make changes. Our team typically responds within 1 business day (Monday-Friday). We do not process changes on weekends or holidays.

RETURNS

What is your return policy?

We do not accept returns for live plants.

What if the rose I ordered arrives in non-viable condition?

We take great care to ensure that our roses are healthy and robust before they leave our nursery. However, due to the delicate nature of live plants and potential challenges during shipping, there are rare instances where a rose may arrive in non-viable condition.

If your rose arrives in such a state, please email us within 72 hours of delivery at care@highgardenroses.com. Include your order number and photos of the rose.

Upon approval of your request, we will issue store credit equivalent to the value of a replacement rose of the same size. Please note that taxes and shipping costs are non-refundable and will not be included in the replacement credit.

SIZE

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.

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

QUALITY GUARANTEE

What kind of warranty do you offer?

We take great care to ensure that every rose bush arrives at its peak vitality.

If your rose arrives in a non-viable condition, please email us within 72 hours of delivery with photos of the box and plant.

Upon approval, we will issue store credit equal to the replacement cost of the rose, excluding taxes and shipping. This store credit can be used on any future purchase, excluding gift cards, and does not expire.

Replacement requests made beyond 72 hours will be considered on a case-by-case basis.

Our warranty does not cover roses that:

  • Are damaged by extreme or abnormal weather conditions
  • Have been improperly planted, neglected, or received inadequate care
  • Have been given compost or fertilizer before the recommended period
  • Were planted during frost danger (i.e. temperatures below 25°F)
  • Were placed in an area receiving less than 6 hours of direct sunlight per day
  • Were overwatered or underwatered
  • Were not planted in the ground or a pot within 2 days of arrival
  • Were kept indoors for any period of time

Additionally, replacement requests do not apply to roses affected by black spot, powdery mildew, or pests, as these are the customer's responsibility. Kindly note that broken or damaged canes from transit will also not be covered, as they can be pruned back, allowing new growth to emerge from below.
