Mail order fee for Roses and Clematis (SKU 1090)

This is a from-home business run by a mother of four :). I ship differently than bigger companies; please read below. Thanks and happy planning your garden!

1. I mail roses, clematis/vines, and bare root perennials only to: Nova Scotia, PEI, Newfoundland, New Brunswick, Quebec and Ontario (East and Southwest). Shipping to other provinces is cost-prohibitive.

2. Add your plants to the cart.

3. Add this fee to your cart. Select an option below, depending on the size of your order.

4. On the checkout page, DON’T select “by mail in Canada”. Instead, select “Pick up in Halifax”. Your order will be mailed.

5. Roses will be taken out of their pot and shipped with bare roots and a little soil. Clematis/vines that are 2-3 ft in the pot will be taken out of the pot for shipping, and vine branches will be cut to 2″-4″ height.

6. Bare root perennials and bulbs can be mailed only if “By Mail in Canada” shows a green checkmark. The peony below, for example, cannot be mailed, as it is potted. For mailable bare root perennials and bulbs, don’t use this shipping option. Instead, select “By Mail” on the checkout page.

Timelines: roses and vines are mailed in early to mid-May.
Emails received in April or early May asking “Why has my plant not arrived yet?” will be ignored.

Warranty
Upon arrival, unwrap and set the plant in partial sunlight for a day or so (a couple of hours or morning or evening sun, or a day in dappled shade). Don’t expose to bright sun immediately; the plant has been in a dark box for a couple of days, so it’s better to introduce it to the sun gradually, over a day or two, to avoid the foliage getting burned.
Soak for a couple of hours and plant within a day or so.

Notify me of any problems within 2 days of arrival, with details and pictures, where possible. The plant may look somewhat sad after the trip but should bounce back to normal within a week or so. If there are any concerns, please notify me immediately and then wait to see if it goes back to normal.

Plants are guaranteed to arrive in good condition. They are guaranteed to grow happily for 1 month; this time is sufficient to see whether the plant arrived healthy. I won’t guarantee its new growing conditions after that. Please do your research as to what growing conditions each plant requires.

The checkout page may say “Plant ABC in your cart cannot be mailed”. If all your plants are “mailable” as per the explanation above, just ignore that notification.
