I ordered nine roses from this company less than a week ago. The day they shipped, I got an email from the company stating that one of my choices was out-of-stock and that my credit card had been refunded for the price of that rose. The other eight roses shipped July 3rd and arrived July 5th. The roses were well-packaged and didn't appear to be stressed from the shipping ordeal (granted, they didn't have far to go - Florida to South Carolina). Several have buds. I was nervous about ordering from MerryGro after reading the several negative comments left here, but I must say I have been pleased with the service and the product. At this point, I would order from them again.

I just received my second order from MerryGro and am very pleased. I was able to ask for a later shipment date for arrival on a Friday. Both packages were put together very well. Each came in their own plastic pot should there be a delay in planting. All of them were about a foot high and full of leaves. Some with opening buds! I went with them since I was disgusted with other roses that died shortly after planting due to them not handling Florida weather. After much research, I decided to find a company that dealt with Fortuniana stock. It was this one or Cool Roses. I would have opted for Cool Roses, but they didn't have enough selection on their website. However, I am not disappointed with MerryGro so far. The 1st 4 plants received a month ago are flourishing and budding well. I am using a blend of sandy soil, top soil, peat moss, mushroom compost, Ostracite and Epson Salts. This was recommended by the local Rose Society. Light fertilizing every other week seems to be helping too.

Purchased 12 Knockout Roses for Charlotte, NC! Roses were packed very well! During planting, I noticed that 3 had a tag identifying as FL Rootstock only! Needless to say, these 3 died off, while the remainder flourished! Sent a request to CS via email on website! Five responses that stated that theydid not have enough information to respond! Called Customer Service! Lady was very helpful and said that she would address issue immediately! Two days later, 3 replacement Knockout Roses arrived! They were great! Sometimes companies need to attempt to make a Trial Contact through their website response system in order to identify problems! Otherwise, People get Frustrated and will not go back! Overall, excluding the Internet CS, I am extremely pleased!

The roses I ordered arrived in very good condition, their packing technique is outstanding. Shipping is fast, I ordered my roses late Monday, shipped on Tuesday and it got delivered on Friday morning. I will definitely order from them again.

Ordering and delivery time outstanding. Packing was the best I have encounterd for flowers. Most important, the Roses themselves were healthy, sizeable and would highly recommend this company.

Although their selection is somewhat generic and their shipping prices can be a little on the expensive side, this company knows what they're doing.

I have never seen packing like theirs before: It is perfect. Truly a model for other shipping companies. The plants are perfectly wrapped in breathable plastic. The soil is covered in a thick layer of moist moss to keep the plant well hydrated during travel and the box and pot are desiged to meld together such that the box can be turned any way without damaging the plant.

Their plants are also extremely healthy and large. Mine arrived fully leafed out, with several buds. I will definitely consider ordering from them again.

One point of confusion: The website said my plant was budded on fortuniania root stock, but the packing label said the plant was a "New Generation" rose, which in Jackson and Perkins terms means the rose is growing on its own root. I wasn't sure what to make of this, but I'm not a Southern Gardener so the root stock didn't matter all that much to me.

I ordered from Merry Gro based on the other comments here. I have ordered from many other websites. I was never as surprised as when I received this shipment. Outstanding quality roses super well packaged. I will never buy roses from any other supplier again!

My roses are doing wonderful here in West Palm even through the long humid summer. Not a bit of black spot or other disease on any of them. After all these years, I finally have a rose garden. They bloom continuously! Since I have no more room in the ground so I am doing pots now. If you live in Florida, forget the stores, buy from MerryGro which is in Eustis Florida. You will not be sorry

Amazing service. President Andre responded to each and every email. All plants arrived in perfect condition. I have purchased over a dozen rose bushes - specifically fortuniana rootstock for zone 11 - I purchased mostly hybrid teas and a few floribundas. Packaging was superb. Found website video clip informative regarding Fortuniana rootstock. Highly recommended.

I love the 2 cannas and 3 rosebushes I ordered from Merrygro. They arrived in excellent condition and have been growing very well. Will definitely order more.

I wanted to add that the Disneyland rose I got from them has been the star in my garden this summer. I expect to wait a few years before a rosebush will really shine but not so with this one. Also this company has the absolute best packaging, no soggy newpapers or soil flying around with this place.

I ordered 6 Flower Carpet "Apple Blossom" roses from this company. I received large (as large as I would get at my local nursery), healthy, beautiful rose bushes. One of the best packing jobs I've seen and I've ordered from many online nurseries. Great price, too. Will definitely shop here again!

Just received 3 fantastic Rose's "Radiant Perfume", "Aromatherapy", and "Honey Perfume". I don't know who they hired to pack these but I would like to hire them for my company. The Roses are fantastic. Will do much more business with this company.

Just received my second shipment of rose's. I can't say enough about this company! I have never seen such healthy, beautiful, well packaged roses anywhere. I am going to switch totally to this company!
