The people there were as nice as could be. The rose I purchased that day is definitely the healthiest in my garden. It is also the only own root rose I have. I wouldn't hesitate to purchase from this company again. |

Positive | abrowe (17 reviews) | On May 23, 2003, abrowe wrote: I have ordered own-root, potted roses from this company for the last three years. The plants are very good size with good root systems. They are well-packaged and have never been damaged in transit. They must do a good business, because you need to order early to get the selections you want, but their selection is outstanding. My only criticisms are that their web site is simply a listing of the varieties they offer. It's not interactive, not does it indicate which varieties are sold out. Also, the company doesn't accept credit cards, so you have to send them a check. Considering the quality of their roses, I can overlook the inconvenience. |

Positive | keeneking (3 reviews) | On May 14, 2003, keeneking Keene, NH wrote: Roses looked great. I bought Gertrude Jekyll, Evelyn, and Lilian Austin. Healthy looking plants. Gertrude was 4 feet tall (I'm not kidding). Only annoyance is that this company does not take credit cards so you have to mail in a check before they will ship. Otherwise, it was a great buying experience. |

I've ordered roses from a variety of the big-name reputable rose nurseries and none of them can hold a candle to Roses Unlimited. They excel in every area, in selection, in service, in value for your money, in shipment and packing; and in quality of plants. |

If they shipped other plants, I am sure I would order those too. The packaging was EXCELLENT. Roses were healthy, good sized, and every one of those that I have ordered have exceeded my growing expectations. Exceptional selection too. |

Their inventory is amazing and I've been very pleased with the size of their roses and the care they placed in shipping them. Their web site is not that great, but, believe me, the roses are! |
Positive | JaneCameron (4 reviews) | On Apr 1, 2002, JaneCameron Jefferson City, TN wrote: Do yourself a favor and actually go there on a weekday to visit, or visit during one of the several Open House weekends when the personal gardens of the owners are open to the public. It is located about an hour south of Asheville, North Carolina. There are no frills here - these folks work hard all day long in the greenhouses, taking phone calls, and processing orders - and the own root roses they sell are truly wonderful. They are incredibly knowledgeable about all kinds of roses and are most generous in sharing what they know with you. Of course, at some level, this is a business for them but overall I am always left with the feeling that this is, above all, a labor of love and that they would like nothing better than for you to grow and enjoy roses as much as they do! I have bought many, many (too many!) roses from them and could not be more pleased with how well all the plants are doing. Just the thought of walking into one of those greenhouses and seeing all those beautiful roses in bloom can get me through an entire winter. Shop with confidence here! |
Positive | MaryMcCaw (2 reviews) | On Mar 1, 2002, MaryMcCaw wrote: Two or three years ago I ordered three roses from Roses Unlimited and was pleased with the well-grown plants I received. Although they were smaller than a grafted plant would be (which is just the was it is for own-root roses), they grew rapidly, and by the next year they became robust, vigorous plants. Last spring I visited their nursery and picked out hybrid musk, which was great because I was able to get just the shade of red I wanted. I highly recommend them. |
Positive | LucasCatChow (32 reviews) | On Apr 1, 2001, LucasCatChow Tulsa, OK wrote: Ordered a rose and was a little leery about sending a check (credit cards not accepted) before the rose was shipped. Was told that this company is as good as it gets. True for me. The check and the rose must have crossed each other in transit, as within 3 working days had my rose delivered to my door. They sell own root, potted roses (1 gallon for mine), and my rose arrived with 2 buds and a bloom on it. No waiting to see how the rose looked. I was delighted in every way. |

They have a list of probably 300 varieties and send them in 1 gallon pots. I was very pleased with the size and quality of the plants I received.[update mid-November] My new plants from Roses Unlimited are awesome. |
Positive | JohnDrury (12 reviews) | On Apr 1, 1995, JohnDrury wrote: The 'catalog' from this company consists of about six or seven standard white pages, folded in half, with a list of roses. They have some old fashioned roses (35% of the list), as well as floribundas, hybrid teas, and grandifloras (65%). All of the roses, including the modern ones, are own-root grown in a greenhouse. Most of the teas, floribundas, etc., are older varieties where the patent has expired. They had some roses that I could not find anywhere else (not just the teas, but some bourbon roses not in either Heirloom Old Garden Roses or Antique Rose), so I called to order over the phone. Normally, there is no phone order; it's supposed to be mail only. Credit cards are not accepted. However, they left a phone number on the front. After I got through, I asked if they could ship to us within the week. I offered to send the order form by overnight mail, but he accepted my promise of payment and shipped the roses that day (yes, we did pay immediately). When the roses arrived . . .WOW!!! They were as big, or bigger, than the roses you buy at nurseries in five gallon containers. One was in bloom. All were very healthy, with no shipping damage. The instructions that they sent were incredibly detailed. It was like someonegiving away a prized pet. I'll let you know how the roses grow. |
