Wonderful roses! It's always exciting to receive those boxes in the mail! I ordered Austins from Chamblee and they have done well. Best of luck and enjoy :)

Beautiful! How much was the shipping for 6 roses? I have been contemplating ordering some DAs from them.

I love your puppies <3 they are so precious!!

twinkletoad, so exciting! It was hard to go back to work after that!

I am glad to hear they have done well for you! I can't wait to see how they do.

sultry, thank you so much! I love my pups.

It was a little over 37$ for shipping, my total for 6 roses with shipping was $111 and some change. If you order roses, I would order as many as you can. Shipping for one rose to me was around $32 when I asked. So that just gave me more of a reason to order more!

I believe it is based on your location and FedEx shipping rates at that time, so I would call and ask them... it may be less/more for you. :)

Love the dogs! I hope they are more help than mine are. Your roses look great! I have an order coming in a couple of weeks.

SJ I ordered 16 roses and it was $225 total, the shipping portion was $60. I'm assuming it's 2 boxes. Breaks down to an average of $14 per rose, so I feel like it's worth it :) potted roses around here are around $30, with Austins costing more than that, so I'm good at rationalizing lol! And all own root, and last year's order was wonderful.

Beautiful roses and an amazing price when I think of what I pay locally. I love that Jude, a rose I've grown for 11 years. Your bloom is a good example. I am impressed and will remember Chamblees next year. My friend has ordered from them for years. I can't think of why I haven't been doing the same.
Michaela, I'm sure your new roses will do beautifully. Just give Jude lots of room and time to grow. Diane

wow Julie! 16 roses! What all did you get? I am just in awe of how beautiful Jude is in person. I can't wait to see what it does this summer.

$14 a rose is amazing. Mine ended up being around $18 which I think is a great deal. And like you said, most of these varieties you can't find locally. I actually did find a nursery about 30 miles from here that carries DAs, they order them from Chamblees. But I am sure I got them for cheaper than they'll be selling them!

Hahaha. I am glad I am not the only one that can rationalize my purchases! :)

Thank you Diane! Jude should have lots of room to be big and beautiful!

Yeah Michaela that's what happens when you order in the middle of January! I will probably be regretting it when I'm out there with my little shovel digging out new beds. I was looking for hardiness and fragrance ( and long blooming healthy roses - you know, the perfect rose ) so hopefully I have some winners here! This is what I ordered:

Unfortunately they called me tonight and Lady Emma isn't available, too small to ship, so that one won't be coming. But thanks to you all on the forum I ordered Ghislaine and Polareis from a different nursery :) Can't wait till they all get here! If anyone has any feedback or tips on any of these, thank you!

Julie

I understand that! I'm so glad we have online shopping in the winter!!

What a wonderful selection of roses... I hope you love them!

Ordering more than one rose from Chamblee's definitely makes sense as I paid $23 for shipping for ONE rose. I was shocked since shipping has gone up so much since I last ordered from them some years ago. Not their fault; they can't control that. Michaela, such beautiful blooms on your order. Hard to believe a rose that small can pump out something that exquisite.

Woof. That is a rough charge for one, I am surprised at how cheap it is to ship six roses compared to one!

I agree! I noticed this morning that Heritage has some buds as well. Can't wait to see that one!

Lovely roses and dogs. They look happy.

Chamblees is the best! I live 2 hours from them and have been twice already but nothing was blooming - looking forward to going back and seeing the greenhouses full of blooms! Congratulations on your beautiful plants!

Judith

Thank you Marlorena & Judith. I would LOVE to visit Chamblees. I bet it's just beautiful.

Michaels,

I, too, share in your joy with your new roses from chamblees! Just got my order a few days ago and thought they were so healthy and large. Some of mine came in a 3 gallon pot they were so big. I thought it was a bargain for what I paid for. We will have to compare roses during the year. I love chamblees and will definitely order from them again. I haven't had a chance to plant them yet since it has rained all week! If it doesn't stop soon, my roses will be swimming! Wish I could send some of it to California!

So excited about these roses! Woohoo!

bayou, where are you located? What roses did you get? That is amazing they were in 3 gallon pots! What a steal! Please feel free to post pictures of yours :) I hope it stops raining this weekend so you'll have a chance to get them planted. I have everyone planted except Heritage, which I'm planning on doing tomorrow!

I agree... I will also order from them again! I went out and cut the blooms off of Jude & Carding and I smelled Jude and it's AMAZING. I am just blown away at how great it smells. I didn't understand why fragrance was such a big deal before but I get it now! I am thinking I will need more than one Jude....

Michaela,

I am almost embarrassed to tell you how many I got. Please don't report me to the rose police, or my husband, for that matter. These were kind of hard to hide due to how large they were. I was expecting bands and got three and one gallon pots, oops! i got Belinda's dream, carding mill, evelyn (for the smell), plum perfect, wild blue yonder, enchanted autumn, blue for you, delightful Phyllis, gruss an Aachen, 2 cream verandas, sunny sky, savannah, dark desire, alnwick rose, first crush, and sombreuill.

I debated and debated about Jude the obscure, but read mixed reviews, so I chose Evelyn cause I wanted a really fragrant one. You will have to let me know about him cause I may want him for next year. Haha! I live in hot and humid Louisiana. All of my current roses are trying to bloom but the rain is making them ball instead! Next week the rain is predicted to stop so I will post pics with drier weather. I'm hoping all the roses can take the rain. So excited to see blooms on the new ones! I know I'm supposed to pinch off, but want to see if they are who they say they are! Ha!

This is such a new and exciting hobby for me! I am thrilled!

Bayou, your secret is safe with me! If there was a rose police we would all be in trouble I think!

Did any of your roses arrive with blooms? Have you smelled Carding Mill? I keep smelling the bloom I cut off today. It smells delicious. Not quite as strong as Jude but I love it. I will let you know how it does, although I don't know if my Iowa summer will be a good tribute to how it would do for you! The blooms are so pretty I would say it's worth the risk! Oh I am dying to get Evelyn. If I don't have it before next spring it will be on my Chamblees order for 2016. I actually meant to order it and got Eglantyne instead! Ha!

I look forward to seeing your pictures!! Roses are so addicting. It's such a wonderful hobby though. Very therapeutic. And I don't feel like I'm wasting my money. I did tell myself I am done buying roses for the season except one more John Cabot for the other side of my arbor... which would make 12 roses I've added this year and it's only April. Yeah, I will most likely not keep that promise....

Judith, I am lucky I don't live that close to a nursery that sells DAs. I am taking a small road trip to a nursery tomorrow that carries them but I am getting clematis... or so I keep telling myself....
