“Every plant in the 2025 Collection has passed through the hands of at least three of our nine master grafters — many of whom have been at this farm longer than some of our customers have been gardening. We dig on Friday, we pack on Sunday, and we ship Monday through Wednesday so that the plant in your hand is one your grafter touched the week before. That is the part of this work I am most unwilling to give up.”

What actually shows up in the box

A 4.93 out of 5 average across 6,400+ verified customer reviews on Trustpilot and Garden Watchdog — here is what gardeners reported the season they planted our bare-root roses.

★★★★★

“Ordered three bare-root David Austins in February. The packaging was meticulous — damp sphagnum, labeled canes, and a planting card with hand-written notes from the grafter. All three bloomed their first season; one put out eleven flowers in May.”

Margaret R. Asheville, NC · Zones 6b · Verified order, March 2024
★★★★★

“I'm a 30-year rosarian and I have never seen a Japanese-bred cultivar grafted this cleanly on Dr. Huey. The 'Keisei-Ikura' I ordered put out a perfect hybrid tea bloom the first year — I shipped a photo to my old friends in Osaka and they said, genuinely, 'these are the real plants.'”

D. Whitfield Portland, OR · Zone 8b · Verified order, January 2024
★★★★★

“Our 1962 ranch came with a half-dead 'Madame Alfred Carrière' on the south fence. I ordered a replacement from Hisako thinking it would take three years to fill in. It had four feet of new wood by September and twelve blooms in its first spring. I cried.”

K. Lindqvist Boulder, CO · Zone 5b · Verified order, March 2023
★★★★★

“One of my two 'Stanwell Perpetual' canes arrived broken in transit. I called on a Tuesday morning expecting a long hold time. Elizabeth answered, apologized, and had a replacement dug and on a Wednesday truck by the end of the week. That is how a 47-year-old nursery still operates.”
