I wanted to add that the order form allows you to specify the month & week order should be shipped.

Do you have to put in a special code?

No special code needed. ARE's home page gives details, and they say that orders will receive free shipping (confirmed via email Mon.) even though there is a shipping charge in the cart.

Thanks for the notice.

I ordered Bolero, Star of the republic, Quietness, Desmond Tutu and Plum Perfect

Modest, you're very welcome. What week did you order delivery? I asked for the last week of April, just to make sure weather will be mild and I'll be free to take care of these roses.

I asked for the 2nd week of April. My yard is clay and the warmer it gets the less I want to dig holes.

Yes I discovered Quietness through the garden web forums, Glad to here it did well in your climate which should be similar to mine.

Did you guys receive an order confirmation from ARE after your online purchase? I received nothing, just wondering if my order went through. Their Customer Service is closed on the weekends., have to call them on Monday.

I bet it will come next work day. Monday is a holiday too. I usually got an order confirmation.

I have gotten a confirmation email the times I ordered from ARE, but if I ordered on the weekend the confirmation seems to get sent out on Monday. Since it's a holiday, maybe check on Monday or Tuesday with them if you haven't gotten it? I bet an email confirmation will be sent by then.

Sheila and Cori Ann, this was in reference to a sale back in November. The email should have arrived three months ago :)

Summersrhythm, I just checked and my confirmation email came 11-29-16, which was the next day after the order. Your email MIGHT have ended up in your spam folder. But you can sign in to your account on ARE and the order will show up on "my account" listed under "statistics". Click the link and the complete order will show up.

Oh, by the way, the shipping still shows up on the online receipt, but my email showed the shipping as free, so don't worry when you see shipping included.

*Oops...sorry, Summers, thought you were talking about the November sale, but in any case, your order should show on your online ARE account.

John

Right... I think Summers is referring to a recent order though (just assuming because I think I read in another thread about her order). :)

Good point though. The free shipping offer was from Thanksgiving.

My bad. I assumed since summers posted in this thread that she was referring to the Black Friday/Cyber Monday sale. But in any case her order should appear on her ARE online account. Hope she sees this and checks.

Has anyone ordered the soft cover book of ALL of the roses ARE has offered, whether or not they are in stock? I think it is called "Antique Roses". It cost $15, and when I called them and ordered it 2 days ago, the sales tax AND shipping was included, so it cost exactly $15. The blurb says it has lots of info on each rose.

Jackie

hmmmm....gee, thanks Jackie. My budget is totally shot, but I'll scrounge under the couch cushions for enough change to order it, lol.

No... but let me know how it is Jackie. Is it Empress of the Garden or something like that? I really do like flipping real pages of books and looking at photos on paper. Better for my eyes too.

Cori Ann, it's not Empress of the Gardens, which is $19.95 (and totally worth it!). It's a softcover for $15.00.
The Guide to Antique Roses

Sorry about the confusing, I ordered 3 roses last night around midnight from ARE. I didn't print out or save my order info, was a little sleepy, thought a conformation should be in my mail......but I got nothing. I will call them next week. I will add on that OGR book too when I call them. Thanks for mentioning about the book. I have their mail order catalogue which is pretty informational for the growing zones.

Summersrhythm, did you log into your ARE account? You should find your order listed there.

John, I don't normally order from ARE, only ordered 3 times during my 7-8 years gardening. I created an account today after the purchase though, but that won't help me anything, there is no purchase history in my account yet. I'd have to wait for them to process my order next week. Thanks for reminding me about the ARE account.
