Every interaction I have had with them has been painful. I was patiently waiting for my Westminster Abby and Stephen Rulo rose I ordered over a year ago with them when I asked for a refund on my deadly twig of paradise beach that was supposed to be a two year old. Kenneth said "no problem". Then Julio informed that my refund was not for paradise beach but WA and Stephen Rulo . Then I said why I never asked for that order to be cancelled. I patiently waited for those two roses.

They sent me Mansfield Park when I order Park pink.. two Ashley's instead of Mariatherisaa when I ordered one of each. Kenneth asked for my PayPal email which I provided and still Kenneth sent it to the wrong PayPal. I had to fight for that correction too... So as you can see it's been no walk in the park for me ordering with them and expecting them to resolve it.

SoCal, also make sure that you logged in as a member.

I go to their website and sign in with the email they messaged me saying I was a member so I don't know how else I'm supposed to log in.

SoCal,

ALL RESTOCK roses may be discounted…..I saw mostly discounts.

Regular roses -some ARE discounted, somecare NOT discounted.

Royal Park is NOT discounted-her regular rose already was there.

I would later check , email GRF to get member discount on all roses.

ORDER NOW BEFORE RESTOCKS SELL OUT! 😊🥀😊

Kitty, please read my previous comment I explain why I don't count on them fixing it for me. It's too big of a headache.

This is how my cart is looking in case I would proceed with Royal Park

Elena,

I see you have a discount on Royal Park. Oh, It’s now discounted on my browser, too , 20 percent off. (It was not discounted a few minutes ago.)

Socal,

Maybe computer glitch…. check again, Royal Park may be discounted NOW?????? It is discoubted 20% off for me.

Don’t give up.😊🥀 I empathize. Patient -Persistence wins the prize! . I had a few problem w/ them, but I see many gorgeous roses and trying again this year!

There are other roses discounted. Buy it now before selling out.

Enjoy!

A lot of happy customers with dekiverires this year.

Keep communication simple with them. Ask later, after sale day, to explain member discount in roses and see if you get a little discount on Royal Park. ———————————————-

I enrolled in 20 percent off text/email alerts-maybe why I am getting it??

Elena, it looks like the 20% discount is now added. Do you get the member discount on top of that? Or are member discounts not combined/allowed during sales?

Kitty, when hundred of dollars are spent and they send a refund to the wrong email and don't care to resolve it, and you are still spending money with them it's beyond frustrating. I will not subject myself to their customer service again. If I can order it smoothly then I'll order it. I'm not kidding when I say every single order has been difficult. I updated my address over a year ago. And they still were sending my member free roses to the wrong address. Last week I had to make a fuss about that too.

Socal,

I so emphathize. 😊🥀 They had super challenges last year.

Hopefully , this year, order it smoothly. Keep it simple. Don’t use paypal or other 2 party payments. pay direct. Keep communication short. The simpler the order-easier to get it right.

Best Wishes!

Socal, nope, discounts are not combined.

Their website is so glitchy!

Yes,thats true. They are using Shopify and with extra App on top of it. Time to time its glitchy.

Turn computer off and start over. Hope it works. otherwide order & ask for discounts later.

I just got a reply regarding ship dates. They are prompt today! 😊🥀

& Rosie Friends, ,

Looking at my GRF order I researched breeders & photos of my order above post:

1. Julietta, Delbard, France

2. Julietta Cerise, Delbard, France

3. Trousseau, bteeder?

4. Monmartre, VIP Roses, Netherlands

5., Vuvuzela, DecRuiter, Netherlands Maybe?

.

I can’t find a Trousseau rose breeder on the internet anywhere??? HELP? I think maybe in Netherlands???

Trousseau, below breeder….SKU? Is it De Ruiter, Netherlands?

From Florabundance photo.

Netherland & Delbard roses seem to grow well in my climate, so far!

What a beautiful morning! 😊🥀⛄️❄️

I’m having almost sunshine warming temperatures of 36F today! That’s a high for this week!

I see Grace Rose Farm is still having a sale 20% off! Many of the restock roses are still avaiable at 10am EST/7amPST TODAY!

Computers can be glitchy. I hope GRF is able to iron out computer chalkenges. No glitches I see this morning for my computer. Moving on…..there are sure a lot of beautiful rare roses available on sale still.

Just a few samples of what’s available…

Victorian Dream rose, by Dummen Orange, Netherlands (Part of a Victorian Collection.)

ROUGE ROYAL

is 20% off of $40 now,=$32 WOWZA! GREAT PRICE !

GRF SOLD OUTS-IN ONE DAY- YESTERDAY:

Peony Pink, Hitomi, Julietta Raspberry, Vuvuzela, & maybe couple others are no longer available.

I subscribed to 20% off purchase a week ago for GRF text/email messaging offer. I see that many of GRF roses are 20% off now. I wonder if that is her current sales started yesterday or my subscription???

In my order of 5 roses yesterday I received 20% off all 5 roses and $10 extra dollars off whole order. GRF saud they gave me 2 discounts. Interesting! Niceeee! Thank you, Gracie!

I also now have ”Petal Points Rewards,” from GRF qualifying me for a $40 off shipping coupon-so later I can order att least 2 roses for free shipping. Good to look at your ”REWARDS” points on her site.

@BenT (NorCal 9B Sunset 14)

I read Catalina is in VIP Roses Catologue, Netherlands, on their website; However hmf says bred by Frank Bart Schuurman, New Zealand. Do you know if VIP Rises really bred it? Sounds like it really came from New Zealand bred?

And Notting Hill hmf says bred byvJan Spek Rozen, but I see Notting Hill in VIP ROSES catolog. Was itcreally made by Jan Spek Rozen?

Are they selling or bred their roses for VIP R?

I’m wondering how this works with orders from GRF: my order is supposed to ship this week and I want to know if they send an email letting you know when it ships?

Judi i got emails from the shop app when they ship as well as ups . :)

Thank you, Lily!

Judi,

You do indeed get an email with tracking number when GRF ships the order. Keep in mind they ship out of greater LA, mine shipped from Oxnard before the fires. That area is probably super constrained right now with closed stores, closed routes, employees without homes etc etc. If anyone is considering purchasing from GRF right now, I’d suggest you chose a date later in spring.

Kitty,

You probably know as much about these new offerings as anyone else! They really are fresh intros to the retail garden market.

Elena,

From your GRF restock list sale roses, posted above, sale started Saturday, almost all those roses are now sold out at 6pm Monday. There are 4 keft from the list:

RESTOCKED SELLING OUT: 4 left:

Juliet

Juliet Cerise

Montmartre

Catalina

And the regular roses that are left.

Many still 20% off.

I had my eye on Victorian Dream (Dummen Orange Victorian collection) , now sold out & on my wish list next year maybe.

Kitty, that's great! Grace might offer even better discount. Here's another tip: if you add roses to your cart but don't check out right away, you might receive an extra coupon soon!

Do you shop at Trader Joe's? They have a Garden Roses collection. I picked up a bouquet yesterday Sheffield Park. While it didn’t have a name on the tag, I’m certain it’s him. Coincidentally, I also bought this rose in my most recent batch from GRF. It’s such a stunning rose! I doubt I could grow it to be as beautiful in my garden, but we’ll see how it turns out.

Web picture:

My bouquet

Elena,

Thanks for the tip!

I used to shop at TJ. There isn’t one near ne, now.

Beautiful bouquet and rose! I hope your Sheffielf grows as well as your bouquet!

UPDATE:

Postedfrom,” Growing Garden Roses with Grace Rose,” FB today:

From Gracie’s comnents above, , I wonder what roses will not come back next season? Guess we will find out tomorrow! 😊🥀

Many people are receiving rose orders daily from GRF.right now in January! I see it on the FB. Many happy warm climate customers.

However, some FB GRF customers have choosen to have delivered GRF roses now in January with snow or freezing storms coming, 20 below at night outside or even single digits outside. They are not necessarily knowledgeable how to winterize them well.

They need educated. I hope Gracie may start educating them?

They need a complete guide to care for roses arriving in this weather, posted. And they need to avoid having bare root roses delivered in this weather in the future.

Some if them wishvto try growing roses in the home, to keep roses warm from winter weather. I know this process comes with complications & mites if not done well. I hope they will acquire proper instruction???

I mentioned to Gracie that they need educated.

BEST WISHES TO ALL THESE GRF CUSTOMERS!

Kitty, do you kmow when shell update fhe page or did i miss it ? thank ypu for keeping us updated . i dont have fb

Next year, a variety of Japanese roses will be introduced by GRF, including the entire Princess collection. Additionally, GRF plans to bring a well-known European breeder's popular roses to the U.S. The specific name hasn't been disclosed yet, but my guess would be Massad.

@Lilyfinch z9a Murrieta Ca

CHECKING FB page FOR UPDATE NOW!!!!! I’m still looking for an update. I che

cked FB a few times. She may be emailing customers with reward points the updates. . The web will at least show what’s sold out-the sold outs are not on the site anymore. I don’t know if they will be coming back. There are only 4 restocked roses from Elena’s list above, still on the web for sale: Juliet, Juliet Cerise, Catalina, and Monmatre.

Elena,

That sounds cool! Does she send send members a newsletter telling them this info about new coming roses? Regarding tye Japanese Princess Series at Alexandria Farm…. many pretty princesses! I love Princess Holly’s Hope!

GRF Princess Holly’s Hope bouquet

(oart of the Japanese princess series.)

Princess Maya is beautiful. Princess Hitomi is popular!

NEWS:

Gracie posted 2 videos on FB of herself working in the barn and LIVE answering questions. I highly recommend getting FB, so you can be a part of the LIVE video & ask questions!!!!! Very informative!

I wrote Gracie an email about Face Book northern first time rose buyers having roses delivered IN THE SNOW & mistakenly planting outside-them dying. I asked that she edicate them. She both wrote me an infomative reply and then she immedistely did the question-answer live video and she said she’d kindly probably replace that oerson‘s dead rose order because they planted them outside in the snow. She also spent a few minutes telling her FB audience who live in norther states to not order bareroots and olant them in snowy winter. She also gave some more tips on that subject educating!

I was so happy to see her address this issue and hopefully help these customers.

Her LIVE questions video on FB.

Kitty, I opened the FB group right when Grace was talking about the new roses. It was around 1:40:00 on her stream. She mentioned that she doesn’t plan to disclose all her new roses until she wraps up the current year's deliveries.

Thank you for rhe info kitty !!

i think its easy for people to forget that not everyone is a seasoned rose gardener.

did the restock of rhe last roses happen and i missed it ?

i should have a fb but i figure ive survived this long without it! :)

@Lilyfinch z9a Murrieta Ca

I am finding the Facebook & Instagram, on rise forums, really informative, friendly and wonderful! Spices up my day! I am learning soooo much more about roses and what’s available new! Helps to understand and see the new roses better, too! Lot’s of fun!

The restock sale started last Saturday. Elena posred a list of the roses restocked. Many sold out on Sat and Sunday., Now only the 4 left and the regular roses left on GRF web. . There are stll many on sale 20% off. i posted the sale above on this thread.

Oh thank you again kitty ! i misunderstood and thought seh was doing one Lasr restock . well i better order rhen !! haha

Echo, m

Yes! P Holly’s Hope is really beautiful!!!

Elena,

My GRF web says only many roses 20% off sale daily now, not ALL roses on sale.

Is your GRF web sale different as a member, all roses 20% off for you?

Kitty, I got this email early morning. I believe it's for everyone.

Elena,

i think you may be right. i saw all my roses on GRF site 20% off.

Wonder why I didn’t get that email. Wonder if inly members get free rose gift?

Kitty, you can test it! Just add 4 roses to you cart and see if you have a choice of the free 5th rose.

Non-members get it too, I have a loaded cart right now but am waffling.

Gotta try, Hee, hee! 😊🥀⛄️😇❄️

GREAT SALE -ALL GRF ROSES 20% OFF TODAY-buy, get free gift rose!!!!! EVERYONE! (Thank you, Elena!)

Well, the free gift is available to all.

I filled up basket with 4 roses & it gave me my choice of free gift -Stephen Rulo., I choose.

However, when cart processed, computer glitched & bumped out 4th rose-White O’Hara & my gift rose. So I oaid for only 3 roses. I was going to ask Grace to fix it. Then I decided 3 more new roses is enough!

So happy with my 3 new GRF roses:

Notting Hill (which almost had last year)

Pink Mansfield Park

Victorian Bride

(UPDATE: Correction- I have one Victorian Bride & one Victorian Wedding, only. )

Notting Hill,

Jan Spek Rozen, Netherlands

Mansfiend Park Pink

VIP Roses, Netherlands

Victorian Bride,

Dummon Orange, Netherlands

(Victorian Collection)

SD,

What was the outcome?? Did you choose to order some new GRF roses? Names please? You left us dangling….. Lol!

😊🥀🌸🌹😊 Soooo many beauties!

Today is 30% off plus free 5th rose! Meaning regular priced rose is just $22.4.

Great roses were restocked.

https://www.gracerosefarm.com/collections/rose-bush-collection?fbclid=IwY2xjawH3gl9leHRuA2FlbQIxMAABHcQ1hjOKArRk3ZOdgEIPAXG_RYIbIxHZeJfDM3BFSrW18tzb0AmrtGk6yg_aem_xnYktGVxZNTdHI0RxwnPNw

Nooooo! I was doing *such* a good job resisting, but with 30% off I think GRF is winning...

Kitty and Elena -- This has tempted me to order. I unfortunately killed my Poet's Wife over the holidays. A combo of a strong prune and some accidental overwatering (due to the using spikes/water bottles to keep it watered while I was away) resulted in weird soft/floppy new growth, and now no growth at all. This happened once with a Bolero that I trimmed back aggressively, too. I think I need to be super careful with watering after I prune one of my indoor roses back. So now I have an open spot.

I've just ordered Royal Park, as that's the variety I've been eyeing for a while now. I just love the buttery color and super cupped flower form on that one. I'm also super curious to see a how a florist rose does indoors, as they are normally grown in greenhouses after all.

I love the look of Bridal Piano, too, but alas, no room.

Windowsill,

It sounds wonderful! You will love Royal Park! Buttery cupped blooms! Yummy!

Next time you vacation, if you’re only gone a week, you can turn temps down to 55F in house or 50F and soil won’t dry out-if big enough pots. My kitchen is 55-70F lately, cooler at night. I warercabout 1 time weekly. Takes all week to dry some. However, the 6 inch pots dry in 4 days & need water.

Thanks for the advice, Kitty. I should have turned the heat way down like you say. My roses struggle the most during the winter when our apartment is hot and dry (despite running humidifiers).

Windowsill,

There’s always next year! Your rosrs always look great to me! 🥀😊🥀⛄️
