GBClaiming diseased roses to be perfectly healthy… People buy roses because they enjoy the beauty of the nature and not because we want to get frustrated by bad customer service. I purchased a Claire Austin last year that they were helpful in giving me a refund after sending pictures through email right away. This year my order of Eustacia Vye was in the same condition as the Claire. First they claim they can’t open the attached files which they never had trouble with viewing even when they asked me to send 20 photos at a time before. Instead they asked to send pdf file which I did after taking a while. They still claim they can’t open the attachment. Then they direct me to a website. Then told me the rose is perfectly healthy and won’t replace it. If they can’t open attachment they should contact their IT and not keep directing their customers to do something else. And they shouldn’t sell people diseased roses and claim that to be perfectly healthy.

GBOnce great now I have no idea I have a Pat Austin 20 years old great rose! I purchased an Eglantyne Great rose I'm on my 3rd Munstead Wood I was refunded for the last it did'nt make it a week after planting. I've been a rose enthusiats for over 30 yeasr I have some great rare gems what I recieved today was a bare root with what is essentially a single branched graft on one side crossigng eachother I will plant it & hope for the best but feel this Item should have been culled rather than packed it will be a 2 cane wonder in very short time like so many body bag roses that are badly grafted. As I said the grafts are crossed that close it will never have a a great form it will be lopsided for at least 3 to 4 years before any susbatntial growth

GBBare Root is spindly and thin Bare Root is spindly, needs cutting back to two stems, would not buy a one again from this company, better to buy one in a pot, at least you know what you get After complaining and buying a replacement rose from the garden centre, I was sent another rose from David Austin which was a far superior specimen, shame they didn't send it in the first place At the end I was happy but £35 out of pocket at the garden centre

GBI would rate this company negative… I would rate this company negative stars the company is ridiculous I was lied to over the phone phone. I had my eye on a rose I called and was given various date I was on the website patiently waiting. I called today and was told the rose I was looking for was listed Saturday which is false because I was on the website every day.

GBWhat a joy it is to receive roses from David Austin.. What a joy it is to receive roses from David Austin roses! I ordered a number last year and they have recovered beautifully from a very harsh Aberdeenshire winter and are going to very soon look glorious climbing and rambling over our house and garden. I have just received another order and they have arrived quickly, looking shiny and healthy...perfectly packaged in recyclable packaging... I feel like it is my birthday.... Thank you for giving us so much pleasure.
