Comments regarding High Country Roses

Good plants, good service, good selection of roses -- especially climbers -- some almost impossible to find anywhere else in this country. (Lawrence Johnston and Felicite and Perpetue are just two).
Plants arrived quickly which is what I requested -- within around 10 days -- after ordering -- wrapped well and securely. No casualties. Of the 9 I ordered, all arrived healthy, 3 arrived in bud -- Both "Lawrence Johnstons" and 1 "Agnes."
This is an excellent sign. Some Rosarians are excessively propagating their stock so spindly and non-flowering plants are developing. NOT these folks!
Nice person I talked to on the phone when I placed the order. I'll order again.

I recently ordered roses from High Country roses, and my experience was quite positive. As Colorado is a harsh environment, I wanted to be sure that I any roses I bought were on their own roots - and all of HGR's roses are. I ordered about 2 months ago, using a credit card, but my card was not charged until the roses were shipped. The roses arrived quite quickly, were beautifully packaged, and in good shape. Explicit planting instructions accompanied the roses. I'll update this posting at the end of the summer to report on how well the roses grew.

High Country Roses arrived in excellent condition and took off far better than the grafted roses (purchased from another source) planted at the same time. Definitely will order again. Requested to reserve a rose which wasn't in stock and was notified immediately when one became available. Very nice to work with.

I got hooked on heirloom roses because of their attributes but had trouble finding them locally. Went to the internet found several companies and talked to several customer service representatives. Most were just doing their job except for one: High Country Roses. I ended up talking to a young lady and later found out that she is one of the owners of the company. She was personable, knowledgeable and very friendly. Based on this experience, I asked for gift certificates from this company for birthdays and holidays. With catalog in hand in winter of 99 I placed my order for 17 of their roses. They arrived at the proper planting time for my area in great shape disease free and thriving. Just what I expected. They did not disappoint. I planted all the roses shortly thereafter and I am happy to report that all are doing well and all are spectacular specimens. I can't sayenough about this company. They are great.

Very helpful people to deal with on either telephone or email. Order arrived at correct planting time for our zone. Good healthy plants, well packaged--a little on the dry side but understandable since they traveled a long way. We will definitely order from them again.
