Damaged frozen wet roses refund refused I have been a loyal fan for over ten years spending thousands on the gorgeous David Austin roses. I am a professional renovator and amateur landscape designer with thirty years experience. Something drastic has changed for the worse. My recent order was misdelivered. The neighbor came by 24 hours later to hand me a half open box that had been left out in the 26 degree weather frozen melted rained I On snd David Austin refuses to replace . Might they live? Maybe. But that’s not what I ordered, traumatized frozen mistreated plants. Fed ex should reimburse DA and DAvshould replace my poor plants. Whether or not they survive isn’t the point. I paid a lot for roses given a good start in life.I shouldn’t be forced to pay a lot for a wet ooen frozen damaged box. They refuse.

Once 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

A lesson in manners is needed for this shop assistant First visit to David Austin Roses shop and plant centre in 12 months due to the virus. A nice place to spend a couple of hours.Pity the young female till operative needed a lesson in manners when addressing customers, I only asked if any garden layout plans were available and I got an extremely rude and abrupt “no we haven’t!” A bit of customer courtesy re- training wouldn’t go amiss if you want your old customers to come flocking back.

What 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.

Rose catalogue is great!! We've had well over a year away from gardening, but feel ready now to start again. Because we are planning to remodel part of the garden I thought it might be worth getting the David Austin Roses Catologue, now it's arrived!! So much information, really helpful, so many ideas for things to do and how to manage your roses!! Worth getting before you choose your roses, lots of advice and ideas.
