      The dates below are a guide.

      Bare Root Roses

      • Pre-orders usually open in fall.

      • Use our Delivery Estimator to find the expected shipping window for your area.

      2-Gallon Potted Roses

      • Pre-orders usually open around April.
      • Shipping runs from May through June.

      1-Gallon Potted Roses

      An order from David Austin® will arrive safely and securely by FedEx. Roses will arrive securely packaged in a sturdy, rose print box. Depending on the items ordered and the time of year your items may arrive separately.

      Yes, we accept alternative addresses at checkout – just choose a billing address and a separate shipping address.

      Please note that it is your responsibility to make sure that the shipping address is accessible for the delivery vehicle and is able to accept the delivery.

      During the checkout process you are able to leave delivery instructions to make sure your order is left in a safe place.

      No, our couriers are instructed to follow the shipping instructions provided by the customer at checkout and if no instructions are given, leave the order in a safe place/with a neighbour. If someone is available to receive the order the courier may ask for a signature.

      Yes. You may request to cancel or change your order as long as it has not entered the packing or shipping stage. In some cases, we may be able to cancel or modify an order before it is dispatched.
      To request a cancellation or change, you may contact us by email or chat, or phone.

      For order changes, we can remove items or exchange roses for other varieties of the same value through email or chat. If you would like to add a rose that results in an additional charge, the change must be completed by phone, as we do not retain payment information on file.

      During shipping season, we highly recommend contacting us by phone to ensure your request can be processed in a timely manner. Please call our Customer Service team at 800-328-8893. For the most up-to-date information regarding our telephone lines and hours of operation, please review the Contact Us information on our website.

      If your order has already been dispatched, please refer to our Returns section for additional information.

      We’re very sorry your order has not arrived when expected. Please note that deliveries may currently take 2-5 business days to arrive after dispatch. We recommend checking your FedEx tracking information for the latest updates on your shipment.

      If you need additional assistance, please call our Customer Service team at 800-328-8893 with your order number. For the most up-to-date information regarding our telephone lines and hours of operation, please review the Contact Us information on our website. We will be happy to check the status of your order and provide the most up-to-date delivery estimate available.

      Depending on the items in your order, your products may arrive in separate shipments to ensure each item reaches you safely and in a timely manner. Your shipping confirmation email will include a list of the items included in each shipment, so you can see what has been dispatched and what you can expect to arrive separately.

      Some common reasons for separate deliveries include:

      • Bare root roses, trees, and potted roses are packaged separately and ship in different boxes.
      • Books and rose accessories ship separately from roses to prevent damage, using the shipping method selected at checkout.
      • Fertiliser: While we can add Osmocote to a bare root rose order, it is not guaranteed that the fertiliser will arrive in the same shipment as your roses. For tree roses and potted roses, fertiliser will typically arrive in a separate shipment, before your roses.

      If you believe an item should have already arrived or you are unsure whether an item has been shipped, please call our Customer Service team at 800-328-8893. For the most up-to-date information regarding our telephone lines and hours of operation, please review the Contact Us information on our website. We will be happy to review your order and shipping information.

      We are sorry to confirm that we will not be shipping to Canada this season. At this early stage we are unable to confirm if we are able to supply orders for next season but can confirm you will still be able to make purchases from our trusted nurseries.

      Yes, you can place an order to ship to another country, but the order must be placed through the David Austin Roses website for the destination country.

      David Austin Roses United States can only ship orders within the United States. To access another country's website, scroll to the very bottom of our website and select the United States flag. From there, you can select the appropriate country or international website.

      If you have questions about shipping timeframes, availability, or the ordering process for another country, please contact the Customer Service team for that country, as they will have the most accurate information regarding orders and deliveries to their region.

      Before shipping, our production team applies a protective gel to the roots and stems of our bare root roses to help prevent them from drying out during transit. Due to the moisture retained within the packaging and warmer temperatures during shipping, you may occasionally notice a white or mildew-like appearance on the roots or canes when your roses arrive.

      This appearance is common and is generally not harmful to the rose. You may gently rinse the roots and canes with water to remove any residue or buildup.
      After rinsing, we recommend soaking the bare roots in water overnight and planting the following day as normal.

      If you notice anything that appears unusual or are concerned about the condition of your roses upon arrival, please contact our Customer Service team and provide photos so we can review them and assist you.
