Delivery Times
Container Roses & Garden Plants (year-round): Economy 5–8 working days, Standard 3–5 working days or Express 1–2 working days, depending on the delivery option you choose at checkout.
Bare Root Roses (November–March only)
Pre-orders placed outside the season will be dispatched within the bare root shipping window (1 November – March).
Bare root roses are sent by Economy delivery only (5–8 working days once dispatched).
Bare root roses are lifted and shipped while dormant. Dispatch timing depends on weather conditions and crop readiness, so specific delivery dates cannot be guaranteed. Orders are always shipped as soon as plants are ready and safe to travel.
Bare root roses are dispatched separately from potted roses and our other products, so an order that includes bare root roses will arrive in more than one parcel.
