Regan Nursery

Let me just start off by saying Roses are my all time favorite flowering plants and I know how to grow and take care of them. I first bought some roses from this company back in 2012 a 3 Bush roses a Valencia, Liv Tyler a Rouge Royale and a 24" Patio Scentimetal. I've been growing roses for years and have never had any roses die on me until I bought roses from here. I had called ahead to have them held for me which they did but when I got there from a two hour trip I was very disappointed with the quality of the roses they had just ripped out of the ground and set aside for me, they had other better ones rite there in-front of me but refused to let me exchange the puny ones they had chosen. I was so upset that they were not willing to accommodate me and didn't like how I was being treated as the people were quite rude about it. I felt like just leaving those roses there and I wish I had but after thinking about it at the time I decided to take them becuase I had made the trip there and didn't want to leave empty handed I decided to give the plants a chance. I bought them and planted them rite away and with-in just a few weeks half of them had died. Since they're customer service was so bad and I had lost my recite I didn't even bother to let them know what happened. Finally just 2 days ago I was shopping for some new varieties of roses online and saw them available on their website, I thought the prices were decent and was almost done with the process of ordering them, however when I was proceeding with entering shipping information It said the soonest they could deliver was mid to late February. That was not what I wanted to do at all and thought that must have been some kind of mistake so I called up the nursery to find out if I could get them sooner, the lady who answered the phone was exceedingly rude and made me feel like an idiot for even asking if I could get them sooner. She clearly must have had a bad day or from the looks of some other people's reviews she's just not someone who should be working in customer service, even just talking to her over the phone I could tell she was a very vexing and negative person. Needless to say I am forever done with this nursery. I canceled my order and ordered the roses from Edmunds Roses online instead. I have visited their nursery only a couple times in person since 2012 just to look around and must say they have a large nursery but there's not much in it, lots of dead space over priced roses and much less inventory than before, maybe it's a sign that they are going under which is no surprise. Will not deal with this place even if they are the last people with roses on earth.

Awesome !!! I've been dealing with them for years the only company I truly trust..resolved any few issues I've ever had in the past promptly and efficiently... Best selection hands down and always deliver what they promise.. correct species, in perfect health. Only caveat is they have very strict ordering seasons; sometimes you have to wait a whole year to get your shipment but it's well worth the Anticipation...!!! :-)

Just received 4 Diff Roses from Reagan, all arrived in very good condition , all the way from Calf to Western NC , even gave me credit for a tree rose that up and died last yr . I would order from them again, as I found Roses on their site that I cud not find anywhere else

Ordered about eight roses last year, all floribundas. Arrived in excellent condition and all are alive and thriving now. A neighbor passing by noticed the overwhelming scent of "Ebb Tide" and knocked on my door to ask what variety it was. This is what prompted me to write this review. I highly recommend both the company and the rose.

I recommended this nursery to buy roses at end of the season rather than bare root order. Unlike any other nursery, they carried most rare, new, old and unusual roses. After labor day, is best time to go there to select which roses are suited for your area and find any characteristic of your favorite roses. Sales are a month long.

I ordered two climbing roses online in December and I immediately received an email asking what would be the best time to ship for us - and the roses arrived right on time today (March 8, 2013). One rose is very robust - the others has roots trimmed back to approximately two inches of the stem (I am worried about it but I will give it a chance.) This is my first order with this nursery - so far we are off to a good start.

Ordered 3 bareroot roses from them. All had 3-4 canes with several active bud eyes on each. They are now leafing out very well. Compared to another place I placed an order with where the active bud eyes are iffy, Regan is a top notch place. Not to mention the lady let me know that mine were ready to ship before their normal shipping time which was good for me since I'm in Texas. I liked them so much, I placed another order.

I ordered 3 roses online. I received on the date that I requested. They came healthy and large. All have broken dormacy and are pushing new growth. Very large selection. I plan to purchase again.

Ordered 5 bareroot roses to be sent around the end of February, 2012. Upon receipt, 2 of them (Broadway and Estelle) were suffering badly from extensive die-back on ALL of their canes (Estelle arrived with only 2 canes). Being no novice to rose gardening, I pruned them back to healthy tissue and potted them up as usual before transplanting them to my garden. In little more than a week the die-back was rampant once more, so carefully pruned once again. After a while I realized these roses were not going to pull through. No new growth at all and Estelle was by now down to only one short diseased cane and Broadway consisted of mere stubs of 2 canes. Phoned Customer Service on 4/19 and they replied that they were sold out for the season. Told me to mail in the metal id tags from the roses and they would credit my Visa card. I am posting this feedback as Neutral until I receive the proper credit on my bankcard. I have ordered from them before and been pleased with my purchases, but it seems quality was lacking this time.

Received six bare root roses in top condition.

I ordered 3 bare-foot Rosa Seafoam (which I had been having a very hard time finding), and could not be happier with the product. I ordered them months in advance; they arrived right on time at the end of March as I had specified, and they were huge. I've never seen bare-root roses so big. They greened up beautifully as soon as I planted them, and all three are now in bloom.

I ordered 3 Romantica Roses a few months ago, which were delivered today March 23, 2011 - All were in beautiful condition, tagged, healthy looking with excellent root systems. Very pleased with the plants and automated e-mail updates from Regan Roses. There was a tracking number from FedEx and plants arrived wrapped in plastic and in a sturdy box, six days from CA to NC. Will order again next season as the service has been wonderful and the selection is awesome. Prices for such a beautiful grade rose bush are great. Very pleased, thank you for the service and selection!

TERRIBLE Customer Service!! Don't even THINK about calling them unless you like having your head bitten off! To make you privy to what exactly happened, it's the end of June... about two weeks ago, I purchased AND received a bare root hybrid tea rose (Pink Promise) from a S. California grower. It is doing quite well I might add. Looked high and low for a Electron Hybrid tea because mine is dying from an infestation of spider mites. Well, I called to see if there was any way I could order from them and they would ship now... OR if I would have to wait until next January. I asked if there were “any exceptions” to this rule and I was propmtly told "no". Stupid me asked "why" and I was told quite shortly "because they didn’t have any... THAT’S why!!” Real nice. Not sure what I did to tick the person off I spoke to... maybe it was asking a stupid question but, it does not give anybody the the right to be excruciatingly rude. ESPECIALLY someone in Customer service.... all I asked was a simple question. Rest assured, no matter HOW bad I want a rose… if they are the last place on the planet that has it, I would rather pass. There are plenty of other resources out there that appreciate my business and are never rude or curt to me when I call and ask questions... no matter HOW stupid they may be.

Posted on November 03, 2009, updated November 09, 2009 No nursery can afford to have the best selection of everything and Regan's is no exception. It excels in many areas and falls short on others. Regan's is a rose lover's paradise. They have the best selection of roses of any nursery in the Bay Area that I am aware of. The time to buy roses from them is when they are still bare root and cheap. Later in the season they get potted in pulp pots and the prices more than double over bare root prices. They have a very good selection of fruit trees and a decent selection of large landscape trees. Their selection of shade loving plants is great. The staff is very knowledgeable. Prices are quite good. On my recent visit around Oct. 17, 2009, most of their Japanese maples seemed to be suffering heavily from wilt, probably the nasty and incurable verticillium wilt. There were only a small handful of seemingly healthy maples, but I wouldn't want to take a chance buying one with a latent infection. I would stay clear of their Japanese maples until they have the problem fixed by getting rid of their infected plants. Their selection of pines and conifers is rather light considering the size the nursery, although they have a couple of really pretty Japanese black pines. They have a large selection of the highest quality wind chimes made by Corinthian Bells. Several of these big ones cost $300 apiece. They also have several large wrought iron arches. I bought a beautiful 6'x6'x10' wrought iron gazebo from them at a great price.

Regan's knowledgable staff recommended White Eden in February among others. I am a new gardener and it is quite a scary thing to be opening the package and seeing these bare root roses--they are just stick with some roots on them! Five months later White Eden proved to be beautiful and prolific. I have just planted Julia Childs last month--can't wait to see the blooms!

My roses arrived yesterday and I an thrilled. Couldn't be happier if I hand picked them myself. Received 6 and all are beyond my expectations. This is my first order from Regan's and it won't be my last. What a wonderful company to deal with. Great roses and the customer service was delightful.

Great selection of roses. I bought 4 bare-root roses - they arrived in great condition; were good-sized and healthy plants. Good communications. I would definitely buy from Regan again.

Great selection of roses, shipped timely, very well packed. Roses are bare root and look nice. Will update after planting. So far, will definately order again. Communication over email was great; got responses to all my inquiries. CC

My Regan rose order was placed on January 24,2008 with an "early February delivery". I live in Florida and was charged $22.00 for shipping UPS 3 Air. The order was shipped February 5,2008. Great! I have a 3 day weekend to plant. I received my order last night - February 12,2008. On the package was FEDX Ground Home Delivery which after on-line investigating is delivery "at the end of the 5th day", the price should have been $9.87. I spoke with Victoria at Regan's Nursery and she rudely stated that I contact FEDX not them, it wasn't their responsiblity. Very disappointed at the quality of employee- customer relations!

Last year I ordered two Buff Beauty tree roses from Regan. Both were given the same soil, exposure, and treatment, but one of them died after only one week. I e-mailed them to report this, and asked what their policy would be. When there was no response in 5 days, I e-mailed again. I never heard from them.

I recieved my order today from Regan Nursery and couldn't be more pleased with the roses...very healthy! Communication was excellent throughout the whole process which included finding a perfect replacement rose for Kazanlik. Thanks! Lynda

love buying roses from regan! this is my 2nd time and i always get nice healthy bare root roses. some roses from canada are alittle smaller but i don't mind. will buy again for sure!

Excellent quality bare root roses. My order was filled on time and packing was excellent. Two months after planting the first week of Feb here in 10A, all plants are thriving and blooming.

Recd 3 well rooted and long caned roses in great shape with great packaging! Very happy!

Just received my two bare root roses from Regan.They look outstanding in both size and appearance.They shipped them at the proper time and with care so that no damage to the canes took place. Regan has a large variety of roses which is what brought me to their website!!!

A little pricey compared to the other local nurseries (I'm not comparing it to box stores garden center). But their plants are well cared for. Wide selections of fruit trees, but seems like their specialties are Roses. Friendly and knowledgeable people, too.

This is my first order with Regan nursery. I am very happy to say the roses I have ordered came on time, the root system was fantastic the order was packed well and the proper roses were sent, plus the canes are all long and grade 1- . I will definately order from Regan again. Just a little note though. You must place your order between October and the end of January, They will not take orders after that. They will put your bareroot roses in storage for your zone. Also There are some hard to find roses on their website.

This company provides excellent quality bare-root rose bushes. We ordered 20 new bushes this year & had them shipped from California to northern New England. They arrived in great shape and performed beautifully in the garden. They have one of the largest selections of standard tree roses & David Austin roses that I'm aware of. Their website is a goldmine of hard to find roses with good images.

I was looking for mulberry trees that were more affordable than what my local nursery was offering. I asked another local nursery and they recommended Regan's, which is about 45 min. drive south of me. I called to see if they had them in stock. They weren't able to answer me at that time, but took my number and promised they'd call me back. At that point, my impression of them wasn't too good and I wasn't expecting them to really call back. (I didn't know how big their grounds were and can understand now why that kind of inventory check would take time.) I can understand putting priority on the customers that are there in person over people who phone up, but I didn't want to waste gas driving down there if they didn't have what I needed. Surprisingly, they *did* call back a couple hours later! Now I just had to hope the trees would still be there by the weekend when I had time to make the trip. They have a large open-feeling site. The majority of their stock is roses, but they also have many ornamentals, a few herbs and vegetables, a few of Annie's Annuals and a respectable selection of fruit trees and vines. They carry some rarer things like fruiting mulberries, jujubes, guavas, and kiwis as well as citrus, grapes, blueberries, peaches, nectarines, apples and pears. When I asked for help finding the mulberries after I tried and didn't manage to find them myself, I received help from a female staffmember. She was obliging although it was clear that fruit was not her specialty. Scott ended up being very very helpful in the selection of a mulberry as well as giving me advice about potting and propagation. He is a font of knowledge about fruit and I highly recommend asking for him by name if fruit is what you're there for. This kind of advice and service is what will keep local nurseries in business as I will pay extra for good customer service and the kind of face-to-face advice you just can't get through the mail. Like most businesses, the experience will vary according to who you deal with. No one at Regan was unhelpful or rude. The service ranged from satisfactory to really excellent. I haven't had my tree more than a couple hours, so I'll have to post later if there are any difficulties in the quality of the merchandise. The return policy was posted prominently on the shed door in the write-up area. I feel it was worth the drive because I got a comparable mulberry tree at less than half the price of what the local nursery was charging for theirs, not to mention some really useful and targeted advice from a pro.

Ordered two bare roots at the end of January. Received them a week later. So far, looking pretty healthy.

I ordered from Regan this spring as well as two years ago. I have purchased a total of 12 roses from Regan Nursery. I recommend them highly, although not uncategorically. Their selection of roses is second to none. They carry over 1100 roses!! However, they are just a wholesaler and rely on other rose companies for their stock. They grow no roses themselves. The roses that I have ordered have been in good, but not excellent condition. One rose had several canes that were dead, and another rose was smaller than it should be, and it had a very weak root system. However, in general, this is a good company, and I would order from them again.

Large selection of roses; both modern and antique. Good quality bare roots; however, their return and/or replacement policy was not stated and remained unclear even after a clarification was requested.
