I have had nothing but good experiences buying from them. My roses have always arrived promptly, in good health, and meticulously packaged. They have an amazing selection and they are very good about letting you know when something is back in stock. Love them. |
Positive | Pdeuel (6 reviews) | On Feb 7, 2023, Pdeuel Custar, OH (Zone 6a) wrote: I ordered 4 roses from this company for the first time this past spring (2 New Dawn and 2 Zéphirine Drouhin). They arrived on time in excellent condition and the packaging was very well done. My roses spent about a month in the pots they came in before being planted. They both grew to 4 feet or more over the summer with multiple large stems and even put out several blooms. I am very pleased with how well they all did. |
Positive | googoo (6 reviews) | On Jun 7, 2022, googoo North Aurora, IL wrote: I ordered one rose, Prairieville Prince & received mid-May 2022. I'm impressed with ARE's 2-gallon root ball, which is just as big as the 2-gallon roses from Home Depot. The weight of the root ball is worth the shipping cost. I didn't plant my rose until 1 week later, and now less than 1 month, it grows plenty of leaves plus 3 buds. This nursery has the largest own roots which can be planted right into my rock hard clay, and leaf out fast with many buds from bare stems. |

My first time ordering and they did not disappoint. My roses showed up in great condition, packaged the best out of all the roses I ordered (7 all together). I had to contact customer service through email and it took a few days for them to respond, but due to the time of year I expected that. They were courteous and answered my question nicely and concisely. The roses that came are in perfect condition. They are well rooted and happy already. I'm excited to see them flourish next year! |

It had no foliage when it arrived, but started to bud immediately. Several weeks later, it's a very healthy-looking little plant. I'm very pleased with my experience, and intend to order from Antique Rose Emporium again. |
Positive | LIRose (7 reviews) | On Apr 28, 2017, LIRose Peconic, NY wrote: This top-notch vendor never disappoints. I received my latest order of big, beautiful OGR plants from ARE and couldn't be happier. Antique Rose Emporium is one of the last great suppliers of quality ownroot vintage roses--in two gallon sizes, no less! I'm personally very thankful that they're still going strong so many years later. A+++ in every way. |
Positive | RJClark6 (1 review) | On Apr 26, 2017, RJClark6 Bel Air, MD (Zone 7a) wrote: I bought two roses last year and have recently received my third rose, a climbing iceberg. I could not be more pleased. This is a great company, very professional and I would highly recommend them to any of you. The roses they sent me were healthy and are doing well in my garden. The roses were well-packed with care, and it's obvious this is a great company to do business with. |
Positive | tbuff (38 reviews) | On Apr 15, 2016, tbuff Nellysford, VA (Zone 6a) wrote: Overall, was pleased with the roses I received. You may pay a few dollars more for their roses, but it is worth it, especially if you value a larger plant that does not require as much babying as a small band. |
Positive | Mayimo (2 reviews) | On May 21, 2015, Mayimo Bel Air, MD wrote: I have ordered online roses for years. Some of them arive so-so in terms of their foliage, canes condition, etc; others are too small; others pakaged in a really lousy way...you name it. Until I found this company. They are extremely meticulous with their packaging and the roses come wrapped and protected. More so, these plants that I got today are way more than a skinny stick. They come in a gallon container (surprise) and ready to plant without the hastle of potting and repotting. I am officially in love. |
Positive | ARGrandma (1 review) | On May 10, 2015, ARGrandma Monticello, AR wrote: Due to the success of the roses I have received from ARE, I have become a avid rose grower. I have been ordering my own and receiving gift roses from relatives for the past 4 years from ARE. My rose plants have arrived from November and March thru May. I live in Arkansas Zone 8 and find late Fall gives my roses the best start but all have done well. In all cases, the roses have been well packed and arrived healthy. All Mar - May plants have bloomed in the first month of arrival. The are nice size plants in gallon containers. I sought and received helpful phone advice twice since our humid climate can get terribly hot some summers. I want to stick to roses which are heat tolerant and disease resistant. I highly recommend ARE as an excellent source of roses for the South - both mail order and walk in. The web site is very easy to navigate and you can sort their catalog by any category such as color, height, kind etc. |
Positive | ATLGARDEN (5 reviews) | On Mar 12, 2014, ATLGARDEN Atlanta, GA wrote: Two roses I ordered last year have done very well. I just received this years order and it looks as good as the 2013 plants. I like the fact the plants are shipped potted not bare root and they have their own roots. Plants seemed to acclimate faster than bare root roses I have ordered from other sources. Shipping is reasonable given weight of a full 2 gallon pot. Selection is vast! |

Also got their long armed gardening gloves that are wonderful. I love this company and am trying to convince my husband a spring road trip to Brenham is necessary. |
Positive | Citro (12 reviews) | On Jun 7, 2013, Citro Eden, MD wrote: My first order was well packed and the roses were leafed out. 6 weeks later there are many blooms on my Le Vesuve, Blush Noisette and Souvenir de la Malmaison. I will definitely order again. |
Positive | ginnyg898 (1 review) | On Apr 29, 2013, ginnyg898 Lakewood, CA (Zone 10a) wrote: I placed my first order with Antique Rose Emporium a couple of weeks ago. The representative on the phone was very helpful and my order arrived right when she said it would. I received a "Peggy Martin" climber and, although it was stripped prior to shipping, it was already starting to leaf out when I opened the box. It was very well packed and in great condition. I planted it in the bed the weekend before last and it has already grown a great deal and is very healthy. I wish I could afford to buy all of the beautiful roses that this vendor offers...great experience! |

I appreciated the call and very real concern he has over his business and the quality of roses the provide. I'll continue to use Antique Rose Emporium as a valuable source for my garden and those of my clients. Thank you Michael. |
Positive | Torisgrdn (1 review) | On Mar 16, 2013, Torisgrdn Leesburg, FL wrote: I want to start by saying I am new to ordering plants online. However, my first shipment with ARE, I was very,very impressed. I had ordered two climbing pinkies, and the plants were beautiful and well packed for shipping. I was so impressed, I decided to order 4 more plants. I ordered 2 Belinda's Dream, a Buff Beauty and Duchesse de Brabant. I was home when the delivery arrived. I could tell from the outside of the boxes, it wasn't going to be good. Dirt was coming out the tops. Somehow during shipment, I think the boxes must have been upside down. |

Such a pretty rose. Cascading form with lots of fun pink/white flowers. Very healthy! I will only buy roses from them because I know they sell quality! |
Positive | ermosa (1 review) | On May 14, 2012, ermosa Beeville, TX wrote: I bought two Peggy Martin roses last year and they are doing even better than I had hoped for because of our drought. They were healthy plants when I received them and still are. They are growing so much I had to add an extra trellis to hold the new growth up and they are blooming beautifully. Thank you. |
Positive | trudyh (7 reviews) | On May 7, 2012, trudyh North Kingstown, RI wrote: I planted most of my seven roses in the last 2-3 years. I was just doing spring time garden maintenance and noticed that the roses from the Antique Rose Emporium were all flourishing like green bay trees. The roses from elsewhere looked quite spindly or, in one case, dead in comparison. These have all gotten the same care. |

The roses I purchased from them last year have been doing well, and I'm sure these new ones will too. This is obviously a company that pays attention to quality and good customer relations. Thay have a wonderful selection as well. |
Positive | egardens (9 reviews) | On Jan 20, 2012, egardens Hutto, TX wrote: Ordered five roses during the end of the Texas Summer. Rose shrubs came stripped of leaves to allow for better travel. For reorders probably better to order 2, 4, 6, 8 to keep shipping costs down as the 5th rose added more shipping as it shipped by itself. Planted and watered for a couple of months and then left them to their own devices. All of the roses are flourishing great in a lucky mild Winter. Two of them are already a couple feet round and tall maybe larger. Very happy with my purchase and have reordered. Also want to mention that I like the selection and website. |

Lo and behold, I received my order on Friday at 4:30 pm. Plants arrived in great shape, were of good size, and well packed. I could not have asked for better service - they really seem to have their act together. |

They were well packaged and healthy. I will definitely order with you again. All the roses bloomed well and are still doing fine. Thank you for being such a wonderful source with great employees who go over and beyond to help out buyers. |

Now,two kids and several moves later, I am creating a new rose garden. What a blessing to return a company and find them just as reliable, as charming, as helpful, and even more knowledgable than before! We ordered three roses to begin. Called in the order. Service was prompt and respectful! Roses came early! All three are healthy and vigorous. All three have buds, blooms, or new growth. My daughters squealed with delight to see the ARE box on the front porch- and it did not disappoint! Spending our time now making a list of what to order in the Fall! |

They are now beginning their fall growth and blossom flush and are very attractive. I ordered seven climbing varieties from the Antique Rose Emporium on 9/19 and they arrived 9/22, all in excellent condition. I intend to train them up palm, mesquite and pecan trees as well as a telephone pole. Request a copy of their printed catalog; it contains a lot of useful information on how to utilize and manage your roses as well as beautiful photographs. On May 3rd, 2011, dontruman added the following: It's now early May 2011. I ordered, or bought from a local nursery, additional climbing and bush roses from the Antique Rose Emporium that I planted early this spring. I've purchased 26 of their roses during the last 12 months and all are doing exceptionally well. |

I was having a hard time choosing what roses to plant in a hedge because there were so many pretty ones but they helped me decide on Carefree Beauty. They all did fabulous. I bought a bunch of Iceberg's this year which i have planted and now can't wait to see the blooms. |

Each time my roses have arrive healthy and ready to plant. (and packed with the greatest of care). When I have questions I email them and they get right bake to me. As someone who owns their own business I do understand that despite your best efforts sometimes things go wrong, so to all of you out there that have had a bad experience with this company I am sorry that your initial dealing was disheartening. I happen to admire there work and think that they deserve a second chance. |
Positive | oldroselover (4 reviews) | On Feb 3, 2010, oldroselover Fort Worth, TX wrote: I have mail ordered roses from the Antique Rose Emporium for years, in addition to buying their roses from local nurseries in the Fort Worth, Texas area. Finding their roses and their catalog in a now defunct garden shop many years ago led me to my great love and appreciation of old garden roses. I have never had a negative experience with them, either online or on the phone. Their plants always arrive healthy and well packed. They have a wonderful variety of old roses available. I have also grown or given as presents several of their own Texas Pioneer roses, and they have all been beautiful and hardy. Their display gardens in Brenham, Texas are a "must visit" if you are a true rose lover. It is a great way to see so many of the roses they offer in their full and mature beauty in the landscape. One day I will make it to the San Antonio location and display gardens as well. These folks deserve only positives, according to my experience! |
