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.

I agree with the previous reviewer… I agree with the previous reviewer about the poor quality of the current rose shipments. I used to order from them regularly in the past, but gradually stopped for many of the same reasons. I thought I would give them one last chance and on a whim I just ordered two bare root plants. One arrived not only with crossed branches (in the same state outlined by the reviewer) but also with two major roots broken right below the shaft. Contacted customer service and was just given a pre-packaged answer about proper planting instructions and told to "wait and see". Horrible customer service as well. Will never order from them again.

Amazing Customer Service Having had many years of joy using David Austin Roses and 9 beautiful roses later I had my first failure. The Customer Service and help I received using their live chat service and email has been first class. After trying hard, sadly the rose did not survive. A living plant obviously is a challenge at times and once in a while does not thrive. I supplied photographs to them and have today received a beautiful new rose as replacement under their 5 year guarantee. I cannot fault this company. Always helpful with advice, always prompt to reply which is very welcome and can be unusual in some companies with Customer Service. A wonderful range of amazing plants which we get to enjoy year after year in our garden. Thank you. Thoroughly recommend.

Hello - Positive Feedback Hello, I felt compelled to write to share my positive experience. I ordered two red rose root stock for my garden and having been planted 6 weeks they are doing so well. I wasn't expecting roses in the first year however given the buds appearing am expectant of seeing some. Quality always bears fruit that's for sure!! Thank you

Claiming 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.
