 3. Descriptions
Our roses are sold as bare root roses and will not be in bloom at the time of dispatch.
Whilst we endeavor to provide descriptions that accurately reflect our interpretation of the plant whilst in bloom, as with any living product the descriptions will not match every plant in bloom as this will vary due to climate and ground conditions.
Photographs are purely for illustrative purposes and customers should allow for a degree of colour variance as a result of the printing process.

In the unlikely event of your requested rose being sold out, we can either (a) dispatch your preferred substitute varieties, (b) use our discretion in providing a similar replacement variety of equal or greater value or (c) give you a full refund.  Please state your preference in the Order Form. We reserve the right to substitue any variety within a collection with another similar variety if necessary.
 
5. Replacement Guarantee
We take great pride in the quality of our roses and all orders are checked before dispatch to ensure that they are in excellent condition.  We will replace free of charge any rose which fails to grow to a satisfactory standard within 12 months of the date of dispatch, provided that they have been planted in accordance with our Hints on Planting and Growing.
Roses must be returned to us at your expense for our inspection to determine whether a replacement is appropriate. 
We cannot accept responsibility for any plants which fail to grow as a result of adverse weather conditions, improper husbandry or other factors beyond our control and a replacement will not be provided should a rose fail to grow as a result of any of these matters.
In the event of a replacement of the same variety not being available, we will provide a replacement as close to the original variety as possible.
The Replacement Guarantee does not apply to the free rose received when you Recommend a Friend.
