We,
like
you,
know
what
it's like to deal with customer service,
place an order, wait
in anticipation, and then either be elated with the product or
disappointed in it. We
are not in the business of moving plants at any cost. Owner and husband
Tracy grows
and ships healthy plants that we would like to receive ourselves, and
we hope that they
will make our customers very happy. As a husband and wife business your
whole
experience with us determines our reputation. It's just the two of us,
well...and the pets.
Above is a
typical example of a Weeks bare root rose that we ship.
Since roses can be grown
own-root or
grafted, and shipped bare-root or in a variety of different sized pots,
we feel it's very
important to show what we ship so you know what you're getting for your
money, before the box arrives.
Tracy is quality control and
packer so you can be
assured of our guarantee that the roses will be healthy when
they arrive, true
to variety and able to take off if our planting instructions are
followed.
For
the
thousands
of roses we've grown and sold
we're honored to have
received unsolicited emails and cards, some of which are quoted
below. Each year there are more choices for your rose nursery
purchases. If
you choose to
order from us we will do everything
possible to make your
experience as positive as
the ones mentioned below.
Gratefully,

My husband received a
tawny tiger today as a gift. He is an avid rose grower, this one making
31 plants now. First off, we were both amazed by the condition it
arrived in! There was one bloom that smelled heavenly! My mother has
purchased roses for my husband online thru catalogs she has received,
and I am sorry to say they arrived in very poor condition! just a plant
with no root ball in a plastic bag. My husband loves a challenge and
has managed to save a few.
To say he was floored by the plant he got today is an understatement.
We have been through your website and see so many varieties we are
thinking of ordering. I am so glad our friend Julia found this site.
And thanks to you also for such a beautiful rose!
S.K. (RI 5/09)
I have decided to replace
some Rainbow Knockouts that have been struggling, with more Teeny
Bopper. Your plants that I got last week are outstanding and healthy!
Thanks! J.M. (TX 4/09)
I ordered 3 bareroot roses
from you in late February . . . when they arrived they were probably
the finest rose stock I have ever seen--very large, beautifully
branched plants with enormous root systems. Am now back for
'Dainty Bess' (own-root band) (and of course, a couple of others that
caught my eye!)...
CJ (MO 3/09)
AHR note: Thank you Weeks Roses for sending us such great bareroot
plants this past Winter to sell!
Hello Janet,
Just wanted to let you know about winter hardiness of Camille Pisarro
& Henri Matisse here in Zone 5 central Illinois.
Last January we had a stretch of -22F days, and I was concerned about
these two plants since this was their first
winter. They were planted on the south side of the house, and the only
winter protection they had received were
piles of dried miscanthus grass.
I uncovered them last week, and it appears while they both suffered
cane dieback to the ground (which I
fully expected), they both survived. Henri had more green cane than
Camille; about 1" or so. I did find
one green new basal break on Camille, so it appears she is alive as
well.
Not only are these two beautiful roses, but tough as well. I'm very
pleased with their performance and the
quality and size of the roses that you sent, which truly helped them
survive such a brutal winter.
Best regards,
T.C. (3/09)

Janet, my 4 roses arrived
yesterday in PERFECT condition. thank you, and I will be a repeat
buyer.
N.V. (TX 7/08 referred by E.V. in CA)
Thank you for such a
healthy looking plant.
I will follow the instructions included with the plant.
I didn't expect four fat buds on such a nice plant!
P. B. in IN (7/08)
Janet,
Hi, I received my roses today, and I've gotta say, the plants are
amazing! The size of them, the fact that they have buds on them - I'm
impressed.. The only thing I wanted to know was if you sprayed them
with pesticides or anything, because the "sunstruck" has a lot of
little black bugs on the undersides of every leaf. I think they are
aphids, but I'm not sure. Should I spray them? The buds on each plant
is a bit droopy, and I don't want to damage my new rose bushes....
Thanks!
N.M. (CT 7/08)
..........
Hi N..:
I'm glad they've arrived in reasonable shape. Yes, aphids love
lush new growth as much as customers do (and for some nurseryman's
headache trivia, they are born already pregnant!), but if they are dark
I'm guessing that they are dead as they are mostly green when alive on
the roses. Tracy uses mostly Safer Soap to deal with the aphid
issue, and he has been known to take a toothbrush to the buds to clean
them off before shipping.
Give your plants a good drink of water, follow the planting guide
included with the shipment, and if you want to you can wash off the
aphid bodies with gentle water spray or just a wet hand. Even if
they're alive (newborns from the time in transit) you can follow the
same procedures, or get some mild dish soap and water mix or buy some
Safer Soap and spray them. I apologize for less than perfect
presentation. Let me know if you have further questions.
Thanks again, Janet
..............
Janet,
Are you kidding? I'm not complaining - This is the best order of roses
I've ever received! Usually I get twigs, but the roses you sent are
full and have buds. I don't expect that you guys are bug free where you
are,(that's just plain crazy! ) I just wanted to know what to do. I
appreciate everything you both have done and all of the extra time you
gave me by emailing me back and forth. I look forward to buying from
you again. Thank you!
Sincerely,
N.M.
..............
Hi N..:
Thanks. The aphids certainly wouldn't be interested in sticks in
pots either, with no luscious leaves to suck on. I suppose if we
were bug-free that would mean there would be no good bugs either and
that would severely cut down on my entertainment in the garden.
I'm about to blog on the ant vs earwig battle I witnessed last week
(tho in that case I don't really consider either of them good bugs),
but ladybugs and lacewing and their instar stages are pretty
fascinating....
Tracy confirmed that those are dead aphids, but in case any one of them
is alive you'll have some babies to deal with shortly, so you can still
follow the directions if some show up.
Thanks again and happy gardening - both the good and the bad.
Janet
I received my rose plant
today - in excellent condition. It looks great - already in the
ground. Lucky for us - Arizona is actually getting rain right now
. I so appreciate how well the plant was packed. Thank you!
P. S. (AZ 7/08)
Hello again,
This email is just, to let you know, that the rose plants, was
received today. In very good conditions. My mother was very happy.
Thanks again.
J.R. (7/08)
ps. you got friends in Puerto Rico
Thank you so much! I have
called and left my visa info...Thank you for all of the correspondence,
you were so helpful, this was so painless-- and you have such a
wonderfully detailed and helpful web site. Keep up the good work!
Thanks again,
N.M. (CT 7/08)
I just wanted to let you
know that the roses arrived yesterday. They are gorgeous and very
healthy! These are by far the best roses I've
purchased!
Thank you very much!
R. T. (MD 6/08)
My order arrived
today--fresh, moist and green. Best plants I ever got
mailorder-own root. I look forward to doing more business in the
future. J.R. (SC 6/08)
My roses arrived yesterday
in perfect condition and they look wonderful. Thank you for these great
plants.
I had ordered the lemon zest last fall from ______ not knowing that
their plants now come from the east coast. They arrived black and
not even one quarter the size of yours - basically they were already
all but dead. I'm glad I was able to find you on the web and will
not hesitate to recommend you to others.
Thank you, M.V. (OR 6/08)
GOOD AFTERNOON
JUST RECEIVED MY ROSES AND I'M WELL PLEASED. THERE ALREADY IN THE
GROUND AND THE WIFE IS HAPPY.
THANKS AGAIN FOR THE GREAT SERVICE. M.L. (KY 6/08)
Hi Janet. It's
Wednesday the 4th of June. I just wanted to let you know the
Amber Queens arrived about an hour ago, they're open, they are so
gorgeous, and they're all in great shape, beautifully packed, and so
on. I am just thrilled and they were well worth waiting
for. I just hope I can do them justice in my eastern
garden. I'm delighted. I didn't realize that they also are
fragrant so when I opened the box the buds, and open blooms - the
fragrance was just so lovely. I will certainly be ordering from
you again. Thank you. I hope to have great success
with these.
MM (NJ 6/08 - via voicemail)
Dear Tracy and Janet,
I am only buying roses from you,from now on! I
am so impressed with the way you shipped my 4 roses. We did end up
having FROST on May 28
and 29, but the plants are in good shape and growing nicely. Thanks
again for your extra care, Tracy! I am your total fan!!!!
Sincerely, D.E. (NY 5/08)
Hi, Janet.
I received my order yesterday and could not be more pleased! What
beautifully healthy plants! Your website guarantee mentions
instructions that were supposed to be enclosed, but there were none in
the box. Can you email them to me? S.P. (FL 5/08) FYI: The
Planting Guide is in the pouch on the outside of the box.
Roses arrived today, am
really pleased with the quality of the plants. I stopped
ordering plants from catalogs a few years ago because of the quality
and failure rate. I will be sure to pass your address along
to my friends and can't wait to show off the Judy Garland
rose.........I will be one proud rose lover. I only wish I had
found you before filling my gardens with run of the mill
roses. R.B. Mesa, AZ (5/30/08)
Hi, roses came
today, 5-6-08 tuesday, and they are planted in the ground
already. Thank you for the rebate, although I probably
would not have criticized the size of the rose, they both were
healthy ..that's what counts. I often recommend to people where
to get roses since I am really into roses..I consider myself somewhat
more knowledgable than the average person, and I will certainly
recommend you as a place to purchase roses, so your rebate
certainly will come back many times over in advertising. I like
the way they were shipped, they were easy to plant, and now
let's just hope I do my job and take care of them over the next 20 or
30 years or more! thank you again, Pat Dailey ....If
you need a recommendation, you are welcome to use me. P.D.
(FL 5/08)
I received my roses today. They
are beautiful!
Thank you,
J. R. (TX 4/08)
Hi, Janet --
I just wanted to let you know that my roses arrived a few days ago and
they look perfect, as usual. I was a little worried at first
because the post office took five (5!) days to deliver the
package. I'm only 200 miles away from you. Your wrapping
and packing methods are so superb, though, that the roses weren't hurt
at all by the delay. Four of them were in bloom in the box and
even the blooms were perfect.
I love your nursery. I just recommended it again in the DG rose
forum as the best place on the Web for own-root roses. (E.V.
Northern CA 4/08)
Hi Janet,
THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THE 2 BEAUTIFUL PLANTS OF A.M.L. They
arrived in beautiful condition. THANK YOU VERY MUCH,
D.G. (Central CA 4/08)
BEAUTIFUL BABIES I AM PLANTING THIS
MORNING!
Gorgeous healthy plants. I'll tell all my garden buddies!
(J.T. San Jose, CA 4/08)
I purchased two roses
(Betty Boop & Home Run) last year from you. They have grown
into beautiful bushes. And since I was in the market for another
rose, you were the first to come to mind! Thank you. S.H.
(WA 11/07, on order for 2008)
Dear Janet and Tracy,
I just wanted to thank you guys for the roses. They arrived in perfect
condition and have settled into the garden beautifully. They are
without doubt the best ownroot roses I've ever received. The roots are
phenomenal!
Your Ophelia is already larger than my 2-year old Ophelia that I've had
in the ground for a year. She arrived in bud and is putting out perfect
blooms. The trip didn't set her back at all!
Sincerely, S.A. (AZ 10/07)
Just wanted to let you
know that my roses came today and they are in great shape. Each
one has
several buds that will likely open in a few days! Thank you so
much for such good product and service. I know that I will enjoy
these for years on my new farm. In the meantime, they are going
into slightly bigger pots for the next year. I will wait
until buds have matured and opened before disturbing them. They
are doing great.
Have a wonderful weekend, and relax after the rush. J.G. (NC 8/07)
Dear Janet and Tracy,
Wanted to Thank you for the Roses. They are exceptionally good looking,
healthy plants. Looking forward to planting them this week and enjoying
their long life of blooms in the coming years.
Sincerely, M.S. (WA 8/07)
Just a note to let you
know that all roses arrived in great condition...they are happily
sitting on the patio (in partial shade) getting acquainted with their
new environment. The buds are opening. One of these little guys
did lose a small cluster of leaves yesterday, but I just removed them
and all still looks great.
I really appreciate the time and effort that went into packing and
shipping, all the painstaking detail that went into getting them to me.
What a marvelous job. Can't wait to order more in December. Hope
you guys enjoy some much deserved time off.
Warm Regards, (L.B. CA 8/07)
I can’t remember sending
you guys an email to tell you what a happy customer I am, this may be
your second but I’m so happy I can’t help it. I purchased a Blue Moon
for my mom, my first on-line plant purchase, about 2 months ago. I AM
SO VERY PLEASED!!!!! The Blue Moon arrived in a couple of days – pretty
impressive for a cross-country trek. The roses were in perfect
condition – even packed in a nice container that can be reused &
looks good – nothing like the cheap ones you get from the local
nurseries. The rose had so much new growth when it arrived and has
grown to almost twice its original size since she’s had it (about 2
months). I have never had the pleasure of buying a plant that was
obviously loved & well taken care of, I cannot believe how healthy
it was when it got to us. It also had a beautiful card with the
requested note attached. I want to thank you so very much for giving me
the opportunity to give my best friend/mom the best gift possible. I
will be purchasing from you again and again, and again, and again. You
are wonderful & you have one extremely HAPPY customer!
Your Friend in FL, A.C. (summer 2007)
Hi there. I hate to
complain but I was extremely disappointed in the roses you sent.
The root system is quite weak and the plants are extremely
immature. If I saw them at a local nursery I would not have
bought them. What should I do--i haven't planted them yet.
G.B. (CA 7/07)

our reply:
Hi ______:
I am sorry you were disappointed in your order. Have you
ordered
own-root roses before, and did you see the photos of the kinds of
plants that we sell on our website? Own-root roses are not grown
and
sold like grafted roses that you would buy at your local nursery, and
in fact the plants that we ship are usually a lot larger than own-root
roses from other mailorder nurseries, and also larger than the photos
that we publish, as attested to by the many compliments
that we get from our customers.
Did you find the purple planting guide on your box envelope? I
will
forward another copy to you in case you didn't read it. Please
follow
the directions carefully and your plants will grow to their mature size
in 2-3 years. Our roses typically have roots sticking out the
bottom
of the pots, whereas own-root roses from other companies have tiny
roots that barely fill the top 1/3 of those same band pots.
Again,
these are not grafted roses that are field grown with large
understocks, like the bareroot roses at your nursery. Here's the
link
on our site to the difference between own-root and grafted roses
http://www.amityheritageroses.com/OwnRoot.html
. I think it will help
you understand what you purchased, and then please feel
free to contact me if you have other questions.
Thank you again,
Janet Sclar

Dear Tracy and Janet,
Just to let you know, the little darlings arrived in fine order, and
after resting for a couple of days were ready to jump into their
freshly made beds!! The Queen of the Violets came out of her box
already blooming! The "What a Peach" is open today, and the French Lace
has three large buds!!
I'm very pleased with the quality of the roses you sent! It's
interesting that some of the mail order houses I do business with don't
like to ship in mid summer, but your roses arrived after our nasty,
three week old heat wave broke, looking just fine after their
adventure, and very simply and efficiently packed. (Thank you for not
sending those awful styrofoam noodles!!)
I know bare root is less expensive to ship, but I ordered one barefoot
this past spring from another very reputable nursery and the poor
thing just looked like a dead stick, up until about 3 weeks ago (May to
mid-July!!) Not exactly an asset to my rose garden!
On the contrary, the roses you sent instantly made my garden the
blooming success every one hopes for!
Thank so much for your hard work!! It certainly paid off here!
Sincerely, J.S. (CO 7/07)
The rose plants were received this
week. Every one happy. My step mother was most
impressed with the condition and method of shipping the rose!!!
And she's very hard to please. She's looking forward to
them
blooming.
Thank you, R.C. (NV 7/07)
Hi Tracy and Janet,
Neptune, Angel Face, and Fragrant Cloud arrived yesterday in excellent
condition. I am delighted by
the plants and your excellent service. Thank you so much!
Thank you again. Y.N. (Central CA 7/07)
Janet,
I'm embarrassed this thank you note is so late but I just wanted you
and Tracy to know you have new best friends in Studio City, So.
Cal.!! Wow, the 2 "Adam" tea roses you sent were beautiful,
healthy and arrived safely, and so well protected! I can't thank
you enough and I passed your prayers and wishes onto our neighbors,
they were so very appreciative and moved. They never knew there
was a rose named after their son and how they were such a perfect,
special gift.
So I thank you and they thank you and now you are on my favorites page!
All my best, K.D. (SoCal 6/07)
Janet and Tracy, I
think I wrote my earlier message to the wrong address. Let me say
that you guys rock! I have never, ever received such wonderful
huge and healthy 'bands' before like these! I posted on the rose
forum but I shout your praises! Such great bands, I can't
say enough.
Thank you, C.P. (NC 6/07)
I wanted to send you a
quick note of thanks-for the great communication and wonderful
service. I was expecting much smaller bushes. One even
arrived with a huge, fully bloomed rose on it. They are
perfect. I will definitely do business again when we need more
roses.
~K.S. (TN 6/07)
Dear Tracy and Janet,
I have just got the roses. They are in surprisingly good
condition. I have thought the roses would be bare rooted.
Therefore I have been worried about them. Now I'm so happy to
have so fine roses.
I've read so many good comments about Amity Nursery on the US web
site. But these roses are beyond the reputations!
Thank you very very much. A.F. (Nagano, Japan 5/07)
Tracy and Janet, thank you
for the outstanding experience I've had with Amity Heritage
Roses. Every time I've been in contact with you, I've been
pleasantly surprised by your personal attention to my order. Your
customer service is outstanding... I was a high maintenance
customer with specific needs for shipping, and all of my expectations
were met and exceeded. Then when my roses arrived (exactly on
time), they were perfectly healthy and undamaged. And one of them
was blooming which was an extra treat! I will recommend you to
everyone with the utmost confidence.
Thank you very much, A.L. (MN 5/07)
Hello,
I had bought 3 Golden Celebration roses from you last year for my
wife's Mother's Day gift. I thought you would appreciate some
pictures - one is over 7 feet tall! The colors are great, as is
the
fragrance. The whole family enjoys them.
Your efforts in cultivating first class plants is appreciated!
R.H. (MD order 4/06, email 5/07)
My roses arrived yesterday
(picked them up at the post office this morning). Very good size for
bands, still moist, nothing broken. Excellent communication. Will
definitely order from you again next season. Thank you very much.
S.E. (OK 5/07)
I have ordered from you
twice this year & I wanted to let you know how happy I am with the
size & the quality of your own-root roses. My George Burns
took off like crazy & is already a little bush. I just
received my two All Ablaze climbers & they look great. I
hope they do well here in my climate.
I used to order all my own-root roses from _____________ here in
Oregon, but I will order from you from now on. The size of yours
are at least triple the size of theirs.
Thank you P.M. (OR 5/07)
Hello,
This is in reference to an order I received a couple months ago, sorry
I haven't written sooner, but I want to tell you how pleased I was with
the condition of the plants. I ordered two Daphne, several "Prince
Henry" Jap. Anemones, and roses "Emanuel" and "Broadway". Janet had
informed me that the Daphne were sub-par but I was happy with them
despite their diminutive size. They were healthy and well-shaped. The
Anemones were small but have leafed out beautifully, as have the roses.
Thank you very much for a wonderful plant-purchasing experience!
Best regards, R.E. (TX 3/07)
It's o.k. to send Jo's Coat now PLEASE
!! I cant wait !! My last shipment from you was in such
good shape. The Neptune has already bloomed. I was greatly
suprised at how healthy the plants were. I ordered from a catolog once
years ago and recieved twigs and swore I would never do it again.
I am very picky about my roses and am unable to find anything locally
that I find worthy of planting so I took a chance ordering from
you. You have a life time customer with
me.
C.R.
(FL
5/07)
Just
wanted to let you know the two Tivoli's and the one Smoky came in great
condition. I am very pleased with their size and health. We put the 2
Tivoli's in the rose garden, but put Smoky in a larger pot so that we
can bring it to our attatched garage, covered over, for the winter. I
hope I can do all that's required so that they will all flourish here.
Thanks again! T.P. (OH 5/07)
Hi Janet,
The roses arrived yesterday!! That is only 5 days from CA to Virgin
Islands!!! (we did have an 'in' at the post office and were called to
pick up at the main post office so technically we got them a day early
as they would have been delivered to our offices today by our postal
carrier) WOW, they are great!! so many in bud or bloom and lots
of new growth, we are very impressed... a few plants are peppered with
yellow leaves [from confinement in a dark box for 5 days] but
otherwise, they all arrived safe and sound and are a vision of
health!! You're packing method is brilliant. Thank you! We
are very happy customers!!
L, Mrs. H and G (Virgin Islands 4/07)
Hi Janet,
The roses arrived today. I am always so impressed at what nice
size plants you send, how healthy they are; Ebb Tide is even
blooming! Thank Tracy, this is obviously due to his "obsessive"
desire to send out plants only when he feels they are ready, and it is
greatly appreciated. I have received plants from other nurseries
that were so small, almost like barely rooted cuttings, that they
didn't survive. Granted, the nurseries would do a replacement,
but only once, and the second puny plant would often die as well.
... Thanks
so much, for all your help and the great new roses...
M.S. (Central CA 4/07)
I
received the shipment and I wanted to tell you how healthy and robust
the plants are. Some even were in bud!! I am following the
planting instructions provided. It's bloody hot here, so waiting
a few days for them to adjust is a good thing...Thanks for the
beautiful plants and your personalized service. It really is a
pleasure doing business with you. S.E. (SC 4/07)
Hi, Tracy and Janet
...
I received my rose last Thursday. It looks so healthy! I let it
acclimate for a couple of days in semishade and planted it yesterday
with lots of organic matter added to the soil as well as bone meal as
you suggest in your planting
instructions.
Can't wait to see the first bloom! Thanks so much for a beautiful rose
and your great customer service.
Regards, K. B. (CO 4/07)
Received
my roses on Monday the 23rd. I am so impressed with the way they were
packaged for shipment and how they looked when I opened them. Thank you
so much, I will certainly order again. Thanks, J.M. (3 days
over the weekend Prioirity Mail! to GA 4/07)
Dear Janet,
Thank you for the beautiful roses which arrived the other day. They are
really gallon size plants, and some have buds already or are in bloom.
I'm really pleased with them and want you to know that all of the roses
that I have bought from you have done really well.
Regards, J.S. (NorCal 4/07)
Dear Janet,
I just received the plant and I am extremely impressed with the quality
of the rosebush and speed of delivery and packaging. It is
awesome. I will definitely be back to purchase again. Thank
you. K.C. (MA 4/07)
I just wanted to
compliment you on your Talisman rose. It arrived
in wonderful condition and I cannot believe how "mature" and sturdy it
is. Other roses I have ordered arrived looking like
sticks! Thanks for caring about your products. I am happy
to recommend you to my friends and wish you well in the future.
T.W. (3/07)
Dear Tracy and Janet,
The roses just arrived and are beautiful! Definitely worth the
wait. Heritage has an opened rose and most of the Wise Portias
are ready to pop also... Thanks for being such a great
nursery.
Best, R.K. (SoCal 4/07)
Hi Tracy and Janet,
I received both my roses today 4/11/07. I am amazed how big they
are and how healthy looking. Thankyou. I've ordered many
roses and plants to be delivered by mail and these are the VERY best I
have ever received. Yours Truly, M.B. (Central CA 4/07)
The rose arrived yesterday and I'm
really pleased!! It's in such good shape; the wait till April really
paid off! There's even a blossom for me to admire.
Thanks so much for my beautiful rose, S.I. (WA 4/07)
Just wanted to say that the plants
were GREAT! Such nice large and healthy specimens. Only the gallon one
seems to have suffered any from the trip. I'll be buying from you
again! R.F. (LA 3/07) [AHR note: the gallons can transpire very
quickly because of heavy top growth and pots full of roots. They
should revive right after a good drink of water.}
You had said you would be able to ship
by end of April. Unfortunately I was lied to by another seller
who said he could ship immediately, charged my credit card, and almost
3 weeks later has not shipped yet. When would you be able to ship
this rose? - as I may go through the hassle of seeking a CC
refund and giving my business to you -
I was very impressed by your prompt and careful execution of my Daphne
order. It is now sitting in a little 3 by 7 plot in the 104th St
community garden just off Central Park West here in New York...
Thanks again for the Daphne and maybe we can do some Stainless Steel
business too... MDR (NY 3/07)
Hi, Janet --
My roses arrived today and I'm stunned. I couldn't be more
pleased. They're the biggest and healthiest band roses I've ever
received in the mail. I'll be certain to report that in DG's
Garden Watchdog and I'm also going to devote a thread to them in the DG
Rose Forum.
Thanks a million, E.V. (NorCal 4/07)
I
received the "Topaz Jewel" today. It arrived in perfect condition
and looks great. I appreciate the quick service and am really
impressed with the quality and size of the plant. Thanks a lot.
C.M. (WA 4/07)
Janet,
We got the shipment last Friday. Glad that you decided to ship the
extra six we needed them. My wife and I are extremely happy that we
found you and your husband as a source of our roses. They were all
beautiful and in great
shape and are in the ground already....
P.R. (SoCal 4/07)
Dear Tracy and Janet,
Just a short note to say Your rose arrived yesterday and is absolutely
the healthiest plant I have ever received by mail. Ann is going
to be just delighted. Looking forward to doing business with you
again. B.G. (WA 3/07)
Hi Tracy and Janet,
The Condesa(s) arrived today. They are amazing. Your bands
continue to amaze me in their size and quality. Wish I could
learn how to propagate things like that so I could give friends in the
area some of our teas...they ask, but I have a very low % rate of
survival. Anyway, you guys are tops. If you ever decide to
propagate Marie van Houtte or Alliance Franco-Russe, give me a holler,
because I love ordering from you.
With gratitude and affection, J.M. (SoCal 3/07)
My
order arrived yesterday. In less than an hour we had them planted. We
had previously put in 16 bushes. Only the ones from you are all leafed
out. Absolutely beautiful. Thank you for a wonderful product.
M.M. (VA 3/07)
The roses are here!
The roses are here! They are in excellent condition and I am very
pleased. Thank you so much.
C.L. (NorCal 3/07)
Janet, thanks for
sending
the card to my parents. They are eager for April when the rose
will be delivered and already have a place designated for it.
Thanks again for excellent customer service. jb (IL 2/07)
Dear Janet,
I decided to try
your rose company instead of the ubiquitous ___
because there seemed to be many comments about how much more
customer-friendly you were. From your email, I can already see that
it's true! How nice of you to offer to send the card ahead. It's for my
mother's 80th birthday, and I would so appreciate you doing that.
Thank you very
much, K.G. (OR 1/07)
Hello:
I have been
meaning to send these photos for some time. Just wanted you
to see
what the
roses I ordered from you did their first year here in
Ohio.
After I ordered
them and was awaiting their arrival I contemplated
canceling
the order
because of the experience I had had with another company the
year before.
Needless
to
say,
I
have [been] very happy that I decided to go
through with
the
order
from
you.
I was happy with the roses as soon as I
received them
and
with
the
way
they really took off, grew and flowered beyond my
expectations.
I
am
really
looking
forward to seeing what they do next
summer.
Thanks! BJT (OH
12/06)
I am absolutely
thrilled with the 10 or so roses I got from you earlier in the summer.
They have grown by leaps and bounds....the healthiest roses
i have ever gotten through mail order for sure. I am wondering if you
can, either this fall or next spring, get me the following roses...
JA (OR 10/06)
Hi Tracy and
Janet,
Just wanted to let you know that the roses I got from you have grown to
be absolutely HUGE and are blooming like crazy. All are healthy,
happy and doing great. Putting them in a "rose nursery" where
they are protected from the afternoon sun and heat until next year was
just the ticket for them. I'll be back for a whole bunch of
bushes in the spring.
Thank you again. You are a delight to do business with.
P.C. (CO order 4/06, email 7/06)
My rose bush is doing
great, already three blooms since I planted it in around April
29th. Again, I appreciate you waiting to send it until it was
mature enough. Out of five different rose plants, my Love [from
Amity Roses] is doing the best. Thank you again. Have a
great growing season!!!
A.K. (MO 6/06)
Dear Tracy and Janet:
Thank you, my mother received the package on Thursday, one hour before
her gardener arrived. The gardener complimented you on the roses
and manner of shipping. He said that they arrived in wonderful
condition and was amazed with the small containers. I am looking
forward to seeing the rose bushes the next time I visit my
Mother. Thanks again, they were the perfect gift, my
Mother loves them. V.J. (CA 5/06)
Dear Tracy
and Janet,
A few weeks back, my wife and I ordered three Carefree Sunshine Roses
from you. Your emails were warm and prompt. The roses
arrived exactly as scheduled and when we opened them it was obvious
that they were packed with great loving care. Your instructions were
thorough and easy to understand for new rose initiates like my wife and
I. Our landscape contractor (who did the actual planting) was
quite impressed with the quality and health of the plants especially
after having traveled all the way from California to South
Carolina. They started blooming immediately and have not stopped
since.
When someone gives us exceptional service and value, we like to take a
moment and let them know how much we appreciate it. So here's a great
big "THANK YOU" to Tracy and Janet and Amity Rose & Garden Nursery.
It has been an outstanding pleasure doing business with you.
Sincerely, A. & C. L. (SC shipped 3/06, note 5/06)
Hi, I just
wanted to let
you know I got your roses today and was amazed at how great they look.
Some even had blooms, which I wasn't expecting. I can't wait to
see how well they grow this year. I will definately recommend you
to anyone wanting to buy roses. Here in Michigan, I have always
had the problem of the rootstock often coming up in the spring and the
graft not doing so well. I'm excited to not have to worry about
that anymore.
Thanks again, C. B. (MI 5/06)
AMAZING!!!
These look
incredible! I'm accustomed to receiving a 5" twig. I have
ones I received a year ago that are just now getting this big, and ones
I received 6 months ago that are only half this size! I am
stunned with how healthy these are and how well packed! Usually
others are covered in mold/mildew and I struggle to keep them
alive. Yours REALLY make it WORTHWHILE to order.
Much Aloha, M.C. (Hawaii 4/06)
Dear Janet,
The 3 roses you shipped Tuesday arrived today. All had big buds and
were wonderful looking. So did all the others I ordered this year (6
total), the Duchesse de Brabant came with 4 big blooms!!!
Thank you again, Janet. Your company is impressive. I have certainly
enjoyed looking at your website, choosing roses, corresponding with you
and I have given your name to other gardeners.
Best wishes, K.W. (OR 4/06)
Dear Janet,
Got my new roses. They were packed beautifully and they look
fantastic! I'm very pleased. Thank you. A. C.
(NorCal 4/06)
Hi you two,
I received my order today, the eglantyne....it is wonderful, thank you!
Honestly I don't see a thing wrong with the size though I do appreciate
the discount. It's blooming! LOL and smells so good :) Just had to
email
and let you know how pleased I am with it, thank you so much!
Regards,
D.T. (SC 4/06)
HI,
The roses came today! :) It is always fun unpacking...I'm very
excited to have gotten another big order and can't wait to get them in
the garden and to start enjoying them. And they are so pretty...AD
still in bloom as is Ghislaine.
Thanks a lot, have a good wknd. K.C. (UT 4/06)
Now
this is what I call premium
packaging! I was very pleased with the condtion of the plants and the
care given to their transport welfare.
Thanks again, L.W. (TX 4/06)
Hi Janet,
I received my roses today and they are beautiful! Some are
already blooming, so I was doubly surprised. And, thanks for the
amazing packing job!
J.T. (PA 4/06)
HelloJanet:
The roses arrived and they are beautiful and in excellent
condition. I am very impressed and will recommend you to other
gardeners.
Thank you so much, O.L. (NY 4/06)
Janet and
Tracy,
Thanks so much for sending these beautiful roses. I'm absolutely
unreservedly delighted! They were very well packed - not so much
as a
broken leaf! And blooming! Did I say I was delighted??
Thanks again. A.N. (SoCal 4/06)
I have an
American Rose
Society
membership...I recently received my shipment from you. I found you
through Dave's Garden website. I have been buying roses from a variety
of high-end sources for many years. I was/am extremely impressed with
the health and size of your own-root roses. I will never buy roses
anywhere else again.
Great job! I will sing your praises to all I know who love
gardening. Thanks J.H. (RI - note came with another order 4/06)
Hello,
I've got the rose. In perfect condition.Good packaging. Im
looking forward to see it bloom and grow !
Thanks... Greetings, J. S. (The Netherlands, 4/06)
Hi Janet,
The roses came today and they are awesome!
Cheers, L.P. (WA 4/06)
Hello.
Earlier this week I purchased 8 Carefree Sunrise rose bushes from your
company. I received them yesterday and they look terrific!
I was very pleased with their condition considering the toll that
shipping and lack of sun/water can have on live plants. We will
be planting them this weekend....
T.W. (KY 4/06)
Hi, folks.
Recieved the roses today, and I have to tell you, they are
BEAUTIFUL! I had pretty high expectations to begin with, but
these roses absolutely exceeded them. I can't imagine getting
roses anywhere else after this.
Thanks so much, R.G. (NY 3/06)
Last year was not a
very
good one for
Central Ohio. A severe drought during the summer, killed many plants,
trees, and roses, already under stress from the winter ice storm. When
I planted the (4) roses purchased from you, my husband held out little
hope for their survival. A great many things did not make it, but I'm
so happy to report that all (4) babies from you are already budding
out. Can't thank you enough.
C. H. (note sent in with an order for 2006)
Hello...
My Belles just arrived via UPS and they are in wonderful shape and have
already exceeded my expectations. Thank you so much for your
patience and persistence in helping me get these. I am really
excited and cannot wait to get them in place. We are having a
cold rainy day through tonight and tomorrow a.m. As soon as this
has passed they will go into the ground and await our spring sunshine.
I am going to your website this evening to look at your other beauties,
so will be back in touch. I'm also going to tell my rose-loving
friends about you. Thanks so much and I look forward to
communicating with you again soon.
Have a wonderful day! J. G. (NC 3/06)
Thought you
might like to
know that your BEAUTIFUL plants arrived in OUTSTANDING condition
today. They are all potted up and watered and HOPEFULLY making
"new friends" with other roses.
Thank you soooooooooooooooo very, very, very much. Rest assured
that I shall pass along Amity Heritage Roses to all of my "roseaholic"
friends.
Sincerely, D.G. (central Cal, 3/06)
The Pure
Mystery arrived
in good shape, thanks. I'm kicking myself.... I should have also got a
Midnight Blue. Oh well, there's always next time.
Thanks J.C. (OK 2/06)
The roses
arrived
yesterday in perfect condition. As always, I was delighted.
Can't wait for blooms.
Thank you N.C. (No Cal 2/06)
Dear Janet
and Tracy,
Your roses (2 Eugène de Beauharnais and 3 Francis Dubreuils)
arrived today. Mamma mia! They are amazing... I'd forgotten
the vigor and quality of your stock. When I got the wrapping
off...I just laughed. Your 6" bands are about 4 times larger
than the _______ stick (from another nursery) I planted in November and
have *willed* to live, which is just now showing us some dainty new red
shoots...hope springs eternal.
God bless both of you and thanks for offering such fantastic quality!
J.M. (So Cal, 2/06)
Tracy &
Janet,
Just want to thank you for all your assistance in getting my order
placed and shipped. I received my plants yesterday - they are in
beautiful condition...I will be ordering more in the future.
Thank you again, I really appreciate it.
P.D. (Macau 2/06)
Just to let
you know, your
roses do very well where I live (near Mission Dolores) in San
Francisco. I have Souvenir de la Malmaison and she is wonderful - never
black spot, rust or mildew and bloomed like crazy the first year even
starting from a band! Yolande D'Aragon also does really well and
is an impressive rose as is Sunsprite. The only problem I have is
with Fragrant Cloud - perpetually besieged with rust and what not, but
it blooms none the less. I am looking forward to the additional
roses I have ordered for this Spring. Thanks again, I enjoy your
new online catalog.
Best, A.O. (1/06)
Hi Janet -
Just wanted to
let you know that despite getting stuck at the post office for three
days over the Veteran's Day holiday, Morden Sunrise came through like a
champ. It lost just a few leaves, and is now dealing with wind and
higher temperatures, still looking great. I'm impressed with this rose
and your company. As soon as I can figure out where to put more roses,
I'll be back. Thanks,
D.S. (So Cal 11/05)
Janet,
Thank you so much for the information .... Keep in touch.
It's wonderful to have customer service such as yours...it's above and
beyond the call!!! After my day today, it was so welcome!!!
K. K. (IL 11/05)
I bought
about 6 roses
from you a month ago (roughly) and I'm thrilled with them. They have
all settled in well and two have actually bloomed. I'm getting my list
together for next year and will watch your site through the year until
it's time to order. If this is the kind of quality and service you
have, I hope to be a lo-o-ong term customer. I'm also telling others
about you.
Thanks.
S. H. (IL 7/05)
Janet...Just
wanted to let
you know that I received the order of roses this afternoon. When I
opened the boxes, I was totally impressed by the caring manner in which
each rose was prepared for shipment. A superlative job, I must say. As
an old timer who has been ordering plants by mail for half a lifetime,
I don't think I would be far off by saying that I have never seen such
excellence in wrapping and shipping before. I have also ordered
own-root roses before, and they usually have been half (or less) the
size of yours. I look forward to ordering more from you next season, as
my wife and I are in the middle of a major construction and remodeling
which is putting a hold on much of my gardening plans for awhile, but I
did not want to miss out on a whole growing season before construction
is done. So in the interim I will be tending your roses carefully to
get
them through the summer so I can enjoy them for the years to come.
Thanks again for the special touches. .....J. K. (AZ 6/05)
Tracy and
Janet,
Just wanted to let you know that the roses arrived today in great
shape, Thank You. As a member of the Connecticut Rose Society and
a grower of primarily old vintage roses I will highly recommend your
company to the members. Looking forward to future orders from you.
Thank you again,
J. A. (CT 6/05)
You sold me
several
roses. I hoped I would be lucky enough to have some of the bloom
sometime this summer. I am pleased to report that all the roses
are prospering, and two already have large buds. They will bloom
within a week. One of the blooming roses is an "English
Miss". It was so shrimpy you gave me a discount on it. Lo
and behold, it was the first to show a bud. The other is an
"Apricot Nectar". Just thought you would like to know.
J. E. (Kansas City, MO 5/05)
Dear Janet
and Tracy,
The dozen roses I had ordered from you arrived today, just two
days after you mailed them out. Boy was I
surprised! I never imagined roses could come out of a box
looking this good . They are all BEAUTIFUL, each one
PERFECT!! And most with a bud or two, waiting to bloom. I
couldn't be happier! Tracy, thank you for taking such care
in the packaging of these gorgeous plants and Janet, thank
you for such gracious and wonderful customer service.
I'm thrilled to have found Amity Heritage Roses on the internet
and look forward to ordering again!
Aloha,
S. M. (Kailua, Hawaii 5/05)
Hi Tracy and
Janet,
Just a note to say how pleased I am with the bands you sent (SDLM,
FDubreuil, Reine des Viol, and Rose de Rescht). They are about
14" to 16"
tall and doing so well.
I'm relandscaping and haven't quite figured out if I have enough space
for the roses I HAVE, but I'm looking forward to ordering more from you
if
there's a possibility.
Thanks so much!
A. N. (southern CA, 5/05)
Hello Tracy and Janet,
The roses arrived today and when I
got home I opened the boxes. They all look great and for a yr old
cutting they are much superior than what I got from (______ and ______)
both from Oregon at higher prices. Yours are so much more robust and
more developed. At present I have about 190 roses of different
cultivars. I am looking to the performance of your roses in the next
2-3 yrs.
Thank you very much ...
With Gratitude, J. Z. (northern CA, 5/05)
The Chihuly
rose arrived
today and it's a very nice plant! The wife has ordered from nurseries
and received small cuttings in bad condition. But this one
is great. If you do all your plants like this, I'll be back for more.
Thanks!
J. C. (OK, 5/05)
Janet--
I wanted to let you know that I received my two roses ('America' and
'Della Balfour') last week. They arrived in great shape and are
acclimating well. I've ordered plants through the mail several
times in the past. I'm really impressed with how vigorous these
roses look. In fact, the 'Della Balfour' plant already has a
flower bud on it.
I can't wait until they climb and bloom away!
Thank you,
C. B. (UT 5/04)
Hi,
I just wanted to let you know that the roses arrived last night and they
are GORGEOUS!! Much bigger than I expected, so I was very
pleasantly
surprised. I'll definitely order from you guys again - thanks so much.
N.R. (Colorado, 5/05)
Just wanted to say
that not only did my two
roses arrive in
perfect
condition, but that they are so healthy and robust that one already has
blooms (The Velchenblau) and both roses are growing like kudzu!. .
Thanks
for a offering such a great product. I will be a continuing customer and
will recommend your Amity Heritage Roses to anyone.
S.A. (Georgia 2/05, emailed 4/05)
Of all the
rose nurseries
(10) I ordered from over the last year, I've been happiest with
your roses, from healthy, large plants to quick, protective shipping to
superb, personalized customer service.
Thanks so much for your efforts... Anytime you need a reference, feel
free to let me know. I am thrilled with your service.
Best Regards,
S. H. (Renton, WA 4/05)
Just want to
say that the
roses arrived Thursday in excellent
condition. My roses just started to show some green this week - and
when you sent me these fully leafed out plants, it just blew my mind.
Thanks very much.
W.B. (New York, 4/05)
Hello again,
Janet -
Just wanted to let you know that my rose arrived today in perfect
shape. Thank you so very much - it has been a pleasure dealing
with you. ~ T.L. (Nevada, 4/05)
Dear Janet, 
Hello!
Finally all of your roses
were delivered
!!
The roses which I ordered were delivered very quickly (on March 27th),
though, the roses which Yuko ordered took a few days for custom
clearance and delivered today!!
Herewith I attached the photo of your roses in my garden on March
27th. They were delivered in very good
condition!! For the strange climate, we just
had snow on March 25th. So it was very lucky to be able to
receive the roses after that freezing day!! They look pretty fine
and getting used
to the difference of the temperature.
Thank you so much for
good roses and price
reduction of
shipping fees (refund of overcharged estimate)!! I will
send the pictures of your roses in near future.
Hope all of your family (including animals) are fine and enjoying happy
gardening.
Best Regards,
R. Y. (Fukui, Japan 3/05)
Dear Janet,
Just wanted to let
you know my roses arrived
today. They are
fabulous
and well worth the wait! Also just wanted to let you know that I
appreciate the packaging. Very well packaged, but not impossible to get
the roses out of. Please let me know if you are going to grow any
more of the old hybrid teas (I am a collector of these).
You have a life long
customer here.
Thank you again for everything,
H.G. (Florida 3/05)
The roses
have arrived and
have been planted in the places I
reserved for them. As always, the most beautiful bands I have
ever seen, with healthy roots as well as gorgeous tops.
Thanks once again!
P.H. (Cupertino, CA
3/05)
I received
my rose order
last
week. I wanted to let you know how pleased I was with the health and
size of the roses. The Marie Pavie is already blooming! And the
Big Purple rose made my aunt's birthday great--she's been looking for
that rose for several years.
Have a great day and thanks for the roses!
M. C. (Vancouver, WA 3/05)
Hi,
Just wanted you to
know that the roses all
arrived fine
last
week. As always, I was impressed with the size and healthiness of
the
roses that you sent. I only deal with a few nurseries, yours
being one, and all have gone to shipping band-size plants, but yours
are by far consistently larger, with more leaves and even buds by the
time I get them. I'll look forward to having these new roses in
my garden.
Thanks again...
M. S. (Davis, CA, 3/05)
Your roses
are the
healthiest
I've received from any mail order
company.
Thank you for
offering them. It's been a
pleasure doing
business with you, and I hope to deal with you again soon.
Best wishes,
A. L. (San Diego, 3/05)
Dear Tracy
and Janet,
I received my two roses today. They are the prettiest
own-root
roses I have ever ordered. I'm looking forward to the time
when
they bloom. The wait was worth it.
Thanks,

Amity Heritage
Roses,

condition.

They have

Cecile

been

that

for the

"Thank
you so very much
for all your efforts and help in making the
Anniversary Day
project a success! I appreciate it very much!
Sincerely,
C." (South Dakota '00)
"Dear
Tracy and Janet,
This letter of
appreciation comes because a
phone call did
not seem
appropriate to show
how impressed I am with the precious rose you sent - Mme. Louis
Leveque. What a
beauty! And with 3 fuzzy buds ready to bloom! It is in the garden now
that spring has
arrived to Minnesota. Thank you for such a healthy specimen. I will do
my best to
ensure it a long happy life.
Sincerely,
J." '01
"Enclosed is the check for my next order. I just wanted to tell you
again how impressed
I was with the condition and size of 'Francis Dubreuil' and 'Catherine
Mermet'
especially after their cross-country jaunt!... Your others that I have
planted recently are
growing like crazy...Thanks again for your gracious assistance with my
purchases.
Sincerely,
A." (North Carolina '01)

Mr. And Mrs.
Sclar,
