Negative | ParisRoseLady (1 review) | On Sep 4, 2023, ParisRoseLady Albuquerque, NM wrote: Do NOT under any circumstances order from this nursery. This is the THIRD ownership of the Chamblee nursery, and these folks are nothing short of criminals. I was defrauded of $168 for an order of five roses this past June 2023 that were never sent, and it took me two months to get my charges reinstated with the help of my bank, but only after an exhaustive initiative. I filed a claim with the BBB (to which the company did not respond). I left a negative review on the BBB. I filed a report with the Texas Attorney General's Office. I filed a report on the US Federal Trade Commission 'Report Fraud' page. I left a negative review on the consumer site Yelp. Yelp currently has a dozen reviews (all from 2023) that report being defrauded by Chamblee's. Basically, if you order from them, you will THINK you will get roses, but you will not. The website looks legit. The order process seems legit. But it is NOT, your money will disappear into thin air, and then you will have endless hours of strife and stress trying to get it back. In addition, this Chamblee's ownership also owns an operation called One Love Farms. I'm pretty confident this is ALSO a fraudulent company, why would one be criminal, and the other honest and trustworthy? This whole thing is a darned shame, because the founding Chamblee's was a wonderful nursery that set the standard for rose mail ordering. The second ownership was quite good, although more expensive than the original. It is this third ownership that has sullied and disgraced the name of a formerly honorable nursery, and ran it into the ground. Once they are shut down for good (and they WILL be shut down, this current state of affairs cannot endure indefinitely), it will close the door on the Chamblee's saga in a most unfortunate way. In the meantime, I repeat: DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES ORDER FROM THIS NURSERY. (and do not do business with One Love Farms, either!) |

I was charged twice for my roses that were to ship in May. Attempts to call get a recording that says messages are full so that you can't leave a message. Multiple emails are ignored. They charged my Discover card for the roses even though they claim not to take Discover. The one time they did answer the phone (back in May, after repeated calls) they said they would send an invoice which I paid the same day by PayPal. Since paying the second time I have been unable to reach them despite multiple attempts. I have ordered roses and plants online for almost 20 years and I have never had such terrible service and I am out over 100 dollars with no roses. Luckily Discover refunded my money, but they still have the PayPal cash. Yelp has multiple complaints from people that have had the same problem so it's not just me. I feel that it is misleading to keep them on the top 20 as the business is not what it used to be. |

The one thing keeping me from giving it a positive review is that the rose is way smaller than I expected. Even if its only a 1 gallon pot I believe the plant should be bigger before being sold. |

The Glamis Castle that I purchased performed beautifully. It is a perfectly balanced plant that bloomed throughout the season (it is attempting to bloom here in December on warmer days). It is 80% the size of the Glamis at my former home, which I sold in September. That rose is at least seven years old. I have been growing roses since 2003 and I would have to say that this is the best performance I have ever seen from a rose. It looks 3-4 years old in its maturity and shape, and gives me great pleasure each time I step into the garden. On March 20th, 2021, DonnaMack changed the rating from positive to neutral and added the following: Just in case someone reads my previous raves, please note that they were written in 2012. I must express my disappointment. I got several roses from the former company, but none of the type of roses that I prefer are there anymore, and $65 for a rose as common as Heritage is absurd. Yes, they are three gallons, but I am buying 2 gallons from Antique Rose Emporium for $22.95 (and that represents a price increase). I suggest that you purchase elsewhere. |

All four roses grew vigorously and are now comparable in size and productivity to the bushes I received from "big" rose companies. I particularly like Gaye Hammond, which lives up to its billing as an extraordinary vigorous and floriferous rose. It's got a shrub like growth habit - low and wide - and there are so many flowers the branches sag down under the weight of the blossom. Color comparable to Gold Medal: starts as intense yellow with orange edging, fades to pale yellow then year white. Shape: starts as urn-shaped blossom, opens out into a pouffy yellow old garden rose crysanthemum style. I like it better than Julia Child, it's a more vigorous and more interesting rose.

I bought about 20 roses here. Like "mnemier" mentioned, most of the roses are small in size and not mature. Expect to receive roses with thinner canes. To give you an idea, cane height was anywhere from 7" (Grus an Aachen, Earth Angel, and Aloha were the smallest) to about 12". I expected many to be damaged through the mail (new to this), however almost all of them came through great. They were packaged nice and neat I thought. All lined up and against each other. They were also wrapped in brown paper. Prices were right here so that is why I bought so many. You get what you pay for. I will report as they mature. |

Neutral | mnemier (1 review) | On Apr 14, 2016, mnemier Huntington Beach, CA wrote: Ordered two Grus an Acchen floribundas roses from Chamblees Roses in Tyler, Texas. Packaging was fair. One rose lost about 3 inches of top growth due to packaging. Both roses were really small, compared to their eventual height and width of 3x3. The rose that lost it top growth included at least, didn't check by pulling soil out of pot for more, two millipedes or centipedes. I hate killing anything, especially beneficial insects, but I refuse to be the person who started a new insect in my neighborhood or state. I had to step on these guys so they wouldn't become a new pest in my neighborhood. This was pretty disconcerting for me since I'm into organic gardening and I really try not to kill anything on this planet that isn't a threat to me and mine. On the up side, shipping was expedient and at least one of the plants arrived pretty green and healthy.. I called Chamblees and they will be shipping me a new Grus an Aachen, as I would expect given their literature enclosed with the roses. I didn't see any root growth in the bottom of the pots they were shipped in, which to me means , I've got to baby these guys for awhile, and they are probably a little premature. I was hoping for something a little more mature with more root growth, Watered them, put them in the shade, as directed, and we will see how it goes. I do love this rose, since it is quartered and many pedaled, and has beautiful peachy pink tones for a white rose as well as a lovely fragrance. I believe it's one of the original floribundas, that started the floribunda trend. It takes some shade and the one I started with from wayside gardens along time ago is just an amazing and beautiful rose, everyone just loves it. I love it too. A hedge of it would just be so amazing compared to all the neighbors iceberg roses that are so boring with no fragrance, but is floriferous and easy care, This rose can be at it's best floriforious, colorful, fragrant, and have beautiful form. It's an old rose and has stood the test of time as a rose worth planting. I've gone a little anal on my roses. I appreciate form, fragrance, and ease of cultivation. I'm not into babying my roses. They have to preform and live up to their attributes in my climate. I do love roses, but not rose hassles, It's do or die in my yard, I'm too old to be a caretaker for everything. I want tried and true proven plants, that aren't invasive or overly needy. At it's best this rose should live up to my expectations.The original Grus an Aachen I have has been potted for way too many years and still performs reliably, which to me says that this rose given an optimal environment can flourish and grace my yard for many years to come. |

One of the roses I ordered did not have any up growth at all, just 2 canes growing sideways. I called, then sent pictures. Someone gave ill advice suggesting to dig up the rose and replant it so the branches would appear to be straight instead of sideways. When the rose gets a bloom, it is noticeable the rose was incorrectly labeled so I call back and have to again send several more pictures. I find this upsetting as the rose should have been replaced the first time. Now I have to wait for them to either call or email to find out if they will indeed be sending a replacement or not. One shouldn't have to go through that much hassle to get a rose replaced of multiple calls and having to take multiple pictures multiple times. I don't think Chamblee will be my first choice to order roses. I am not upset about the rose being incorrectly labeled, I understand this sometimes happens. What I am upset about is the ill advice, and the hassle of multiple calls emails and photos and still having to wait for a final outcome,and don't think this experience was positive at all. On May 28th, 2015, southerncottage added the following: Chamblee did refund the price of the plant, but no refund on any shipping charges. They did not communicate this with me I found out by checking my statement. Some communication would have been nice. I have never had to go through that much hassle over dissatisfaction with a plant. I was really shocked and disappointed. I have ordered from them in the past, I suppose they are okay unless you have a problem with one of their plants, they they want to to make you jump through hoops to get a replacement or refund. On June 1st, 2015, southerncottage added the following: The rose ended up being the correct rose after all, but it would have been nice if Chamblee could have explained how the bloom starts then changes to pink. . I gave it away to someone who could give it the care I could not. It did require some staking and such to keep it up right. I am disappointed with the lack of communication from Chamblee. I realize that every rose they ship can't be perfect, but when there is a problem, one expects them to give sound solid advice, a replacement or refund without jumping through hoops. This was really disappointing. They are no longer one of my favorites like they once were. I would probably only order from them as a last resort. |

Their prices are about a third of the local ones; and the quality is great. I went on a tour there showing us how they grow their thousands of roses. I use their website to see what they have, educate myself about the roses on the internet, and about twice a year, I drive there to buy some new ones during the Tyler Azalea Trail in March/April and the Rose Festival in October. I am impressed with their service, their quality growing program, their roses, and their variety. I have about 50 rose bushes, which bloom about 8 months out of the year. I am particularly fond of the drift roses, about 35 of them. I found a rose bud in January after some cold weather in the 20's. Order in the off season before they get real busy and before it gets too hot. Fall and spring are best shipping times. They are my favorite nursery. |

When I returned, I found an email from the company representative. The message said that the rose is true to name and the very light coloration will be changed to a darker one once the rose matures. I am not convinced yet because all 3 flowers I had so far are white with pale pink edges. However, the company sent a replacement. Fortunately, my neighbor picked up my packages for me while I was out of town. We had 90+F here and the rose would get fried in the package if left on the pouch. I am changing the rating to positive because the company seems to be a responsible seller and because the quality of the plants is good. I would prefer a better communication though. |

Apparently, my credit card didn't go through. They said if I sent another payment method, they'd ship the roses out. That was all they said--no explanation of why they'd never bothered to tell me that the credit card didn't go through (despite my ordering in February), no explanation of how to safely provide that credit card info, nothing. I sent them a baffled email back, expressing my disappointment, and saying I wasn't going to send credit card info via email. I got a simple (obviously sincere) apology saying they respond to everyone as soon as they can. But that still didn't clear up how they expected me to update the card info or addressing the fact that one of the roses I wanted is sold out. I'd gone into this with very warm feelings about this company--they seem to have great selection, really care about raising roses without chemicals, etc, but my experience really made me feel like they couldn't care less about me being a customer. :/ And I still have three gaping holes in my yard for roses. Maybe it's a sign I should just buy some marigolds. |

I received no email or phone call. I called Chamblees yesterday afternoon and spoke with Kathy. She was suppose to call me back about this but did not.

Beautiful large healthy rose. Bushy and ready to be planted. I purchased 8 roses in all from Chamblee's Rose Nursery this year. All 8 were beautiful, large healthy condition with excellent packing and shipping. Such a reliable company. Don't know why anyone would roses anywhere else. |
