New Rose Nursery

8 years ago

There is a new rose nursery at www.hummingbirdroses.com . I have not bought anything from them, in fact they are not taking orders until fall. It is a nice site.

    Please be very careful when ordering from a new site. Every year a new rose nursery pops up and so far none have been on the up and up. Addresses can not be verified and so on. You can always call the city of commerce for this address to verify. They are not listed at Dave’s Garden Watchdog.

    I can say that most of these places all take early orders for plants to be delivered at a later date. Only sadly the roses never come. In the end of course it’s your money. Maybe someone on here lives near by and can verify that this place is real.

    It does look like a nice site and I hope the person intentions are good ! I'll sign up for the mailing list and maybe in the fall have room to try a couple . I know there are frauds out there, but who goes through all that effort for a rose business? You would hope not ... but people have been duped by "prince of random place who needs to hide money in your bank account ".,, etc .

    They do link houzz forum to the site, if they are a member here it would be nice if we knew who it was ! :)

    Well after my incrediblely cautious reply. It appears the new rose nursery is for real. I have spoken to the owner who seems to be a very nice individual. May I take the time to wish her good luck. An own root nursery makes me happy for sure.

    Im totally in love with Rose Unlimited customer service and quality of their rose, but I will support this nursery if its real. Being a small business owner nowadays is not easy

    I agree Erasmus , I heard from the owner as well , and I am excited to support her. Every person should take a chance and follow their dreams . Every one , every business , starts somewhere . I'll make sure I leave a watchdog review then :)

    also I love that her prices are not gauging like other places. Very fair .

    I checked out their website and facebook page also. It's all setup very nicely. I really like the links provided to HMF for each roses listed. I usually end up doing that anyway before we order. Thanks for the heads up! :-)

    I'm glad to hear that this new nursery probably is on the up and up. However, it does pay to be cautious with "unknowns". This forum has long been familiar with one rip-off artist who, when he gets caught in California, just shows up (online) in another place, where he gets caught and shows up in another place, etc. Last I heard, he was operating out of some place like-- New Jersey, was it? At any rate, I ordered from him--and am still waiting to get that rose that I ordered several years ago! Fortunately, I ordered only one rose from him!

    Have they put that guy permanently out of business yet? Hope so!

    Another new nursery that's useless to us in California. This is on the "How to Order" page: "I’m sorry, but I cannot ship to California."

    Sorry for you, Zuzu (but not too sorry because you can grow so many roses that I simply cannot.) ;-)

    I for one am happy to have an own root nursery featuring cold-hardy roses back in Michigan once again. The Lindley's left a huge hole when they retired from Great Lakes Roses years ago. I plan to support this nursery by my purchases in future - and by spreading the word. Erasmus, thanks for posting this.
