Love

Love, Love my roses!! So satisfied with packaging and the condition of my roses, two came with one bloom and the other three had buds on them. The only thing was that they had discoloration, but I think because of the transport. I will be keeping an eye on them giving them the nutrients needed. Now just waiting to receive my next order!!

You are exactly correct that we do sometimes encounter discoloration of leaves during transport, but this is only temporary. Follow the care instructions and they will be thriving within weeks. Thanks so much for your review and look forward to serving you in the future!

The potted Lady Emma Hamilton rose was…

The potted Lady Emma Hamilton rose was undersized (8 mm diameter single main stem) with a small root ball surrounded by large bark chips. If it manages to survive through a New England winter, I would expect it to be three or four years before it becomes a reasonable size plant. The quality of this rose, which was finally made available after several years on a wait list, was disappointing in light of my previous experience with David Austin bare root roses.

We appreciate you sharing your experience with the Lady Emma Hamilton rose. We understand your disappointment regarding its size. Our varieties grow and develop differently, and often, a small plant, once in the ground and cared for, will see significant growth. We hope that is the case with your Lady Emma Hamilton and if your rose fails to thrive, we will gladly replace it per our 5 year guarantee. Thank you for the honest feedback.

Bad communication

I was not notified when the roses shipped, they were delivered on Saturday while we were away for the weekend! They stayed outside in the heat for two days! They are not looking to great but doesn’t look dead yet

I recently purchased the Lady Emma Hamilton rose from David Austin Roses and have mixed feelings about my experience. On the positive side, the shipping was excellent; they adhered to my request for expedited shipping and delivered the rose on time, which I truly appreciated.

However, I am quite disappointed with the quality of the rose itself. It arrived as a seedling with all the leaves turning yellow and showing signs of being sick, particularly with black spot disease. This has left me concerned about its health and potential for thriving in my garden.

While I commend David Austin for their prompt delivery service, I do hope that they can improve the quality control of their plants in the future. Overall, I was excited about the rose but feel let down by its condition upon arrival.

Thank you for your honest feedback. Please know your satisfaction is our goal. Often the leaves on our potted plants may show some discoloration following transport. Normally, after planting and following the care instructions, your plant will begin to thrive, with robust new growth in the next 3-6 weeks. If your plant fails to thrive, please contact us and we will gladly replace per our 5 year guarantee. Thanks again for your feedback and we hope to serve you again!

Thank you for your review. There are wide size disparities across our many varieties. Often, we see smaller plants grow rapidly after planting. Please follow the care instructions and if your rose fails to thrive, we will gladly replace it as part of our 5 year guarantee.

Best Roses!

This is 3rd year i'm adding DA roses to my garden. So far these were best in comparing to other roses from the local nurseries. Roses bloom as described in their site. Customer service is really good, they replaced one of my rose twice.
Only issue is we need to pay shipping cost close to the cost of a rose if we order just 1.
