USA
Phone:
503-538-1576
Fax:
Catalog:
$5 (a beautiful catalog -- well worth it as a reference guide)
Service:
One of two companies licensed as U.S. agents by Austin. "courageous
enough to invest marketing $$$ in what was really sort of a risky
project [Austin roses]" apparently no satisfaction guarantee; reports
of many ignored complaints by phone and letter
Plants:
most complete offering of Austin roses of U.S. suppliers. own-root old
roses and Austins
Maturity:
plants are extremely small and young, but most often survive (they say
their plants are 6-9 mo old., which is arguably too young, yet
recipients guess the roses they got were even younger than that. Many
references to "twigs without roots") This problem may be due in part to
availability issue (below), and HOGR attempt to make them available
sooner.
Delivery:
Does NOT ship to Canada. Availability of newly released Austins will
lag behind Canada because of U.S. quarantine period. Many reports of
broken canes. Unasked-for switching of plants from what was ordered,
when ordered plant is unavailable. However: will ship at any time of
year (except when it is too cold for the plants to survive shipment.)
