Took a lot of time to ship even after saying that it will be shipped in mid may. Plant doesn’t have that quality. Very small compared to the one you sell in the UK. Packing also very bad. The pots are normal pots but in the UK they are very sturdy and high quality. You charge more in the US but the quality is not worth it.

We have been delighted with our David Austin roses. We purchased a Claire Austin climbing rose a few years ago and it has been a beautiful climber with abundant blooms. We recently purchased three additional roses for containers on our deck and have just planted them. Can’t wait to see the beautiful blossoms!

Service and quality have changed

My shipping was delayed. No one answered the phones at David Austin for 2 weeks. My rose finally arrived, but it was completely yellow with the soil spilled out. I ordered four roses from Heirloom Roses at the same time. I received them within the week and they all arrived very healthy and are thriving next to my sad, struggling Gertrude Jekyll. The quality and customer service at DA has declined significantly since I ordered a large batch of roses in 2008. I hate to write such a review of a brand I love so much but roses are a significant investment to be so disappointing.

Unfortunately most of the roses did not make it. I will try again. I love the Charlotte rose because my beloved grandmother was named Charlotte.

Small rose

The rose I received had very little root system and the plant was very small. Healthy looking leaves but a few broken stems even though it was packed well. Hopefully will have no problems.

We appreciate your feedback regarding the rose's condition. Please rest assured, if you plant fails to thrive, we will certainly honor our 5 year guarantee and replace or refund. Please follow the care instructions as our experience is the 2-quart potted David Austin rose will often thrive within weeks following planting.

Too long for delivery

Too long for delivery. Too small plants Plants look frail and leaves are very pale. Not happy. Plants at local nursery seem much bigger healthier and more worth the value. Sorry!

Arrived with black spot.

Both of my roses finally arrived and had black spot. I’ve called and received no response. I’ve emailed to ask what I can do to make sure my rose isn’t prone to disease in the future and received no response. I’ve ordered 8 David Austin roses this year and I was very happy, aside from not being able to contact anyone for help.

Your roses helped soften tough boardrooms and bring comfort to hospice patients.

I am writing to share how much your roses—and your beautifully designed website—mean to me. Just browsing the vivid pictures and detailed descriptions offers a moment of pure serenity.

As the former Program Director of a large Cancer Institute in Minneapolis for 12 years, I tended an English garden filled with about 25 David Austin roses. I often brought fresh arrangements into our toughest Board Meetings; invariably, their presence softened the room and had a remarkably soothing effect on everyone present.

When I transitioned back to my true passion as a hospice nurse, those roses continued their mission. The joy they brought to my patients was unforgettable. Thank you to the entire David Austin team for your dedication to cultivating a beauty that truly heals and blesses lives.

Thank you for this feedback and know that we greatly appreciate your loyalty to David Austin! If you rose fails to thrive, we will immediately replace or refund as part of our 5 year guarantee. Sometimes potted plants become stressed during transit, but almost always bounce back strong following planting. If this does not happen, we will gladly enact our guarantee as your satisfaction is our goal. Thank you for your support and we hope to serve you for years to come.
