            Frequently Asked Questions

            Need more help? For individual help or advice, we encourage you to contact our friendly, knowledgeable team here.

            Bare root roses are dormant plants and can be planted November and April.

            Potted roses are available all year round and can be planted at any time of the year.

            Aside from extreme weather, roses can be planted at any time during the year. The extreme weather conditions that we advise against planting in are when the ground is frozen, water-logged or during a drought.

            Our 5 Year Guarantee covers any roses that fail to thrive when planted and cared for correctly within five years of purchase. This guarantee applies to roses purchased directly from David Austin®.
