This is actually the 2nd Moab rose I both from Highgarden Roses. The first one didn’t do so well in the heat, but is still alive. I do want to mention that both came in wonderful condition though. The most recent one has new growth so I’m excited to see it mature.
I ordered a small size, but it was healthy. There was a little bit of dirt that got on the leaves, but overall sturdy stem and healthy roots. I can’t wait to see it grow and get bigger.
I love how Highgarden roses website show pictures roses in different stages and they carry a lot of own root roses even ones that are rare and retired. The website is so user friendly. I purchased over 30 roses in the last 2 years and only one died upon arrival. The customer service is wonderful; I normally get a response same day or next day. If the rose die upon arrival, they normally give you merchandise credit. They were also nice enough to also give me merchandise credit when some of my roses failed months later. So just contact them first before writing a negative review about them. I like that most of my roses still had leaves or had new growth to them and you get to choose the size. I recommend getting the medium or large since the small is very small and would need a lot of attention. My most recent orders of Aushunter, Ausstew, Auswill ,Ausimmon were so healthy and full of leaves with multiple stems and bigger than David Austin 2-quart roses. I totally one hundred percent recommend Highgarden roses.
I placed an order for 3 plants on September 5th. The order was shipped out on the 15th and delivered on the 17th. Ship time from Oregon to California was just 2 days. The plants were packaged reasonably well and arrived in decent shape. I do feel the plants were priced a bit too high for their quality. I ordered 2 plants in size M and 1 in size S, and all were very small and not particularly well-branched. While healthy, they were not exactly robust. It took a month before any new growth appeared. One plant did arrive with a tiny bud, which was a bonus, but that also took a month to bloom. Nevertheless, I am overall pleased with the order. The roses are doing well. And I do appreciate having a US-based and reliable supplier for hard to find Asian and European cultivars. I will keep an eye on the website for possible future purchases. The extensive catalog is very impressive. Hopefully, the stock availability will be more consistent in the future. It’s really hard to round up an order when so many selections are sold out and restocks seem random and sparse.
I purchased 3 roses and they arrived healthy and ready to plant. Now I am waiting for them to bloom : ) Thank you for your quick delivery! Great Seller!
