My blooms looks different from your website photos. Did I receive the wrong variety?Updated 2 months ago

Keep in mind that bare root roses are young plants, typically about a year and a half to two and a half years old. It’s totally normal for bare root roses to have smaller blooms and shorter stems in their first year while they’re getting established in their new home.

It’s also important to note that roses vary seasonally with changes in weather. High temperatures can lead to smaller blooms, lower petal counts, and variations in color. Cooler temperatures bring roses with higher petal counts and shades that can be more peach to pink in tone. This is especially true of white/cream varieties that will turn pink/peach in cooler weather. 

Not the color you were expecting? Remember that colors may appear different in person than on your computer screen. Also, certain varieties look different in tight bud form and change colors as they bloom. Of course, if you ordered a lavender variety that produced yellow blooms, please contact us! We do our very best to make sure that our roses are true to name and grade. That being said, since the roses are harvested dormant, a mislabel occasionally occurs in the field or during processing.
