A notification of roses arriving will be posted on our Facebook page about 1-2 weeks ahead of time. Roses can be planted in the garden in early May; they are hardy and won't mind an occasional night freeze.
If you might not be able to pick up and plant your rose promptly, consider selecting "potted plant" option instead.
