. A&A PROMO RULES

@KittyNY6 I will go through my phone and see what I can scrounge together. Unfortunately the weather down here has been brutal as usual for my roses minus Royal Diva.

Knightsgambit, how is Royal Diva doing/growing? Any pictures? I would love some updates.

@kentucky_rose zone 6 it's doing amazingly well. By far the best rose I've received from April & Ashley. It's been raining heavily down here in between spells of intense sun and heat. Let me see if I can take some pictures for you tomorrow.

I think this rose is part of Rosa Eskelund's Plant N'Relax Series, the name explains itself and she's coming out with a beautiful rose in white which hopefully be in the new fall release. I think I'm going to try more of the NIRP roses. The Pride has slowed down a bit and got some blackspot but I'm thoroughly fed up with some of the other roses which aren't doing well right now. I need to focus on growing roses that are super healthy.

For those interested, here's the link to Roses Forever's website. The one I hope gets released in the fall is called Royal Victoria and looks stunning.

Kitty - I ordered Alexandra David Neels, Rue Saint-Honore, and Jardin Couture. I'm excited to get them!! :) You ordered some really good ones. We're going to have fun comparing them. I'll be especially interested in your Velours de Nuit! Fleur de Lumiere is a beauty!!

Knightsgambit - sorry about your bad weather. Me, too. Hasn't been the best summer.

@knightsgambit

I hope your A&A rose posting on social media photos went well and you will receive your coupons now. Did you post yesterday June 30th-the deadline?

You can place an order using your coupons now up to July 15th deadline-

expiration. I noticed the A&A shipping dates start July 6, so I would place orders as soon as possible to get them shipped soon, for our roses to get started growing at our gardens. .

Royal Victoria rose-I cannot find her. I’ll look more later. Does your Royal Diva do well in rain & high heat?

Your weather has been tough on your roses. Yes! My weather has been similar to yours. Thunder & rain & then extreme heat! 91F yesterday and one 10 minutes hard shower of rain. Good to water all grass & plants on my property, though. Humid thick at 91F! Feels like 100+F Went on sidewalks for 5 minutes and had to go inside. My garden grass feels better for Anastasia and me. We ran through the sprinklers a few times. Anastasia doesn’t like getting wet! LOL! I have to pull her on leash to run in sprinler! Chuckle! Roses keep getting burnt petals w/ rain & sun ! My roses grow faster in heat and new blooms daily, but many wilt instantly & burn. Some burnt buds. Still beautiful gardens & tons of blooms! Some blooms do not burn, too!

@rosecanadian

Carol,

So happy you ordered. Great rosie choices! I love those 3 roses! They were STRONGLY FRAGRANT & good for disease resistance! Beautiful bloomers! Love all 3 roses! I am very EXCITED to see them in your garden-Rue Saint-Honore, AlexandraDN, & Jardin Couture, all arriving-unboxing, thriving, and blooming! And to see Rue Saint-Honore & AlexandraDN in my garden, too! Woohoo! Thanks for enabling me! LOL! But, really appreciate your fragrant wise choices! I need to really pay attention to fragrance -much more enjoyable roses!!! I am hoping we receive our orders soon???

OK….. Carol, you mentioned 2 roses …..

so I could no longer resist! I just ordered these 2 more A&A roses,, July 1st, today, Fleur de Luminiere & Velour de Nuit, which I requested from A&A to add to my shipping 1st order. I had a second coupon for 30% off & FREE SHIP which I used from these 2 more roses. I (I should have ordered all on my 40% coupon 1st order, but didn’t, Oops! It’s ok-no worries.)

Kitty

I just got a promotional email from A&A listing a new deadline of July 10 for posting rose bloom photos to get a discount code. Then, the discount code can be used through July 15. All the other rules look the same as before.

Maybe this will inspire my Velours de Nuit to hurry up and bloom!

I just ordered this one. Post pictures when she blooms!!

@Kelly Tregaskis Collova

Ypu just ordered Velour de Nuit? Awesome! Congrats! Can’t wait to see her bloom!

@windowsill_gardener

Thank you for posting the EXTENDED

Kitty

Kitty - your weather is horrid. You had tons of rain and now you've got heat, heat, and HEAT. Blech. Thanks about my ordering. I'm quite excited to get these new roses. :) :) I'm not getting Jardin Couture. I was dithering between JC and Lady Capri, and I sent two emails to Thelms at A&A, and she didn't see the one saying I want JC, and she gave me Lady Capri. I could have asked for JC, but I thought what the heck, LC can be wonderful :) :) Yes, Fragrance is Queen!! Fragrance, for me, really adds to the enjoyment. With all the rain we've been getting, my Violet's Pride's fragrance has really improved. It likes the lower pH. I get why you ordered those 2 roses...it's hard to wait. lol Oh, Kitty!!! So many roses to move to PNW!!! lol You crazy woman. :) :) :) A rose lover has to do what a rose lover wants. :) Velour de Nuit is especially fabulous looking. I love both of your new roses

@rosecanadian

Carol,

Thank you! Yep! I have a few roses to move! I’ll move the new roses & they will be newly potted-not too big-good! I’ll dig up a few older other rodes-fun! Lol! It’s getting later in summer & I wish for all my roses to get started growing. Not sure how many more roses I will order this season-next season is drawing near for orders.

Really? A&A does next season ordering so soon? I hope your house sells soon. :) :)

Pictures of Royal Diva and the Pride. The best performing roses. Royal Diva is bulletproof, zero blackspot and no dieback from the heat.

the Pride:

Royal Diva:

Knight's Gambit - super healthy rose bushes!! Love them!!

Kitty, can you put your home listing on here?

My experience with Royal Diva has been similar to @knightsgambit. She’s got dark green, glossy leaves and zero disease.

Anni is doing well. They came all the way to Calgary, Alberta, Canada.

Pink O'Hara is also doing well.

Maison Peche is doing really well.

Roberto Capucci had the most trouble and had BS.

SD Shine and Knightsgambit, sounds like Royal Diva really is a ”DIVA.”

Carol, your rose bushes look great and ready to grow, except RC will need some tlc. RC is a strong, vigorous grower in my garden. I’m thinking yours should rebound quickly!

EXCITING DAY TODAY! I can’r say much about my activities today-hush, hush, ………………, except there is excitement in the air!

@rosecanadian

Carol,

Good Morning! Home showing this morning-I’m ready-house is sparkling clean. Watering done early. 89F today, actually cooler than yesterday! (Tomortow even cooler.)

AC running & fans! Pleasant!

A&A will do Fall new roses in Oct or Nov. However, I could order potted now and up to ifall such as Sept-which to mean is fall planting. Also, one can order potted rosrs year round from A& A.

Sheila,

No need to post my home sale on Houzz-Things are busy here… lots of interest. I can’t say more at this time. It’s very good!

@knightsgambit,

SD,

Wonderful to hear Royal Diva & The Pride do so well! Defintely, they are in my next order list or next spring orders! Thank you for sharing!

Kentucky,

Good to hear RC is thriving in your garden! I can’t wait to order Roberto Capucci!

Carol,

Anni looks fabulous-thriving in her new pot! She is special with English fuschia blooms-a great Tantau! Wonderful to hear Pink O’Hara is growing well-she’s the most fragrant, like White O’Hara-my favorite roses ever!!!!!!! Maison Peche is really beautiful w/ creamy peach blooms-Awwwweeeeee! And Roberto looks fine-he will bounce back and you will enjoy him this summer

Well,

I’m all done working for today! We will see what exciting activities unfold today!

Blessings and a wonderful Fourth of July Weekend!

My Victorian Secret is starting to bloom-photos coming……..

Victorian Secret keeps growing taller and wants to outgrow that pot! Oops! She is really thriving!

Kitty

Carol -- It looks like your roses are settling in wonderfully after their long journey. And that's a cute way to use the stakes and labels.

Kitty -- Victorian Secret looks so vigorous and healthy! Good luck with your house showing today.

I just wanted to share an update on my Velours de Nuit which I got this in May from @AprilAndAshley. It arrived looking very healthy and was packaged beautifully.

Here it is today. It has grown into quite a shrub! The area where I have my roses ironically doesn't get the best light around the solstice, so I only have one bud at the moment. It's coloring up and looks tantalizingly dark. As we get further into summer and toward fall, and I start getting better sunlight again, I expect it'll want to put out more buds.

All in all, I'm very happy with the plant and my experience ordering from A&A. I'll post a bloom shot here or on the summer thread when it opens.

Kentucky_rose - thanks!! I think Roberto Capucci is already doing better. No bs has come back. Our nonstop rain has finally stopped, and we're getting sunshine. :) Good to know that yours is a vigorous grower for you.

Kitty - excitement in the air!! Is it what you mentioned on the Seasonal thread? I really, really, really hope your house sells very soon. It's so annoying to have to keep the house looking perfect. Your temps are going the right way. Good. :) I'm done with ordering roses for the year. I'll grit my teeth when they offer Peach Swirl. lol F all planting sounds like a great idea for you. :) Oh......!!!.....eeek!!!!!....your house may have an offer on it soon??? :) :) Thanks about my A&A roses!!! I'm really, really happy with them and will definitely order from them again!! I can't wait to smell Pink O'Hara's fragrance. Yes, Roberto looks good now. :) Did you get Victorian Secret from A&A this spring? It looks amazing!!! Wowza!!

Windowsill - thanks!! I'm very happy with my A&A roses!! My goodness!! Your Velours de Nuit looks amazing!!!! Perfectly healthy, tons of leaves...wow!! I'm excited to see the flowers. :)

Good Afternoon,

Carol, &Friends,

Great News today, but I can’t tell you yet. LOL! Except I am moving in Sept. YAY! …Tee Hee! I’ am wiped out by afternoon because it’s so hot. Ac helps, but going outside is humid & HOT! I’ maybe wil comment more later tonight when it is cooler. It was 91f wich feels ile 105F or hotter!!! At 9pm it wil go down to 81F-upstairs I can still feel the heat.

It thunder stormed & rained for a bit and my landscapes are all wet. Some roses still have more burnt booms & others are nice blooms

Carol,

I’m so glad you ordered from A&A and your 4 roses are all doing we!l! They wrap them like gifts when they package them! YAY! They do look happy & thriving! Peach Swirl I’m sure wil be restocked in future-exciting!

Victorian Secret, from A&A spring 2026, has 8 buds starting to bloom-not burnt. Maiden blooms! (She’s trying to color-up, but they are maiden blooms. I notice my other porch rose blooms do not have much color right now, either. I will be giving them Morbloom which is high is phosphorous as soon as it is delivered to help with colorful blooms.

Windowsill,

Velour de Nuit looks really happy & growing well! Vigorously! Sooo excited about his bud blooming soon! Yes! Intense color! coming! Exciting!

My Roberto Capucci has more leaves with blackspot, so I plucked them off. I hope it doesn't defoliate. I guess the cool, rainy weather was too much for it.

Kitty - Yes!!! Moving in September!!! I'm glad you can rest a bit more over the summer. It's going to be super fun to be in your new yard in the fall. :) :) Ugh to your temperatures!!! Saturday here will be 24C/75F. I'll find that pretty hot. Thank heavens it's not as hot as where you, and many others here, are. Your Victorian Secret has beautiful blooms!! My faves are 3 and 4. Mmmmmm :)

Carol,

Thank you! I am so excited about moving & starting my new garden! YAY!

May need to sprayvRC if you wish to stop it defoliating.

Just my starter Pininterest post of Charming Corneille….

Well done, Kitty!! Earn those coupons!! :) :)

Hi, Carol,

Thank you!

I just received my 35% off coupon & free shipping coupon. Was soooo tempting to use it…….so I ordered one more rose-to make a total of 10 new A&A roses for 2026 season.

White Ohara—WOOHOO! The fragrant lady!

Kitty, White O’Hara for $37.24 is a deal! Well done!

@kentucky_rose zone 6

Thank you! The savings for the 2 coupons (35% off & Free shipping) was $37.24. The total cost of White ‘O’Hara order was $38.43. FABULOUS! I saved with 2 coupons almost 50%, LOL! WOW! GREAT A&A Promo! Love White O’Hara! Didn’t you order a White O’Hara, too? Soooo exciting to see our White O’Hara grow & bloom! We both receive them next week, shipped July 6!!!!! Eeeeekkkkkkkk! YAY! Screaming ”Cooooooool!” FUN!

White O’Hara, from my previous bouquet

Kitty, yes, a bunch of us are going to have fun all summer and years to come. This is good advertisement for A&A. Pink O’Hara is in the ground growing good, no buds yet and Mon White O’Hara will be on her way! We all love sharing our experience and helping each other.

Kitty - I'm glad you got White O'Hara. :) She needs you, and you need her. :) I agree with your excitement!!!! Y A Y!!!!

Carol & Kentucky,

Yes!

SUPER EXCITED!

Have an awesome Sunday and our roses are shipped, Monday, tomorrow!

I will be ordering Plant Tone soon. II have my porring soil, alfalfa coming soon, and fish fertiluzers ready. Fertilizing begins 1-2 weeks after my roses arrive afer potting! Do you have pots or places prepared for your new roses coming?

I think I should put in a plug for Lady Ella Rose from April and Ashley, just because she is such a beautiful and prolific bloomer. I have 3 bushes of this variety and she is stellar. I can hardly believe how many stems I have cut from her in such a short time and the vase life is amazing. She’s a spray rose withers adorable peachy, globular blooms and buds and if you like making arrangements, you’ll love working with her. The colors fade goes with pretty much everything and she’s just cute as can be!

Judi, wow, Lady Ella is perfection!

Kitty - yes, our roses will be en route soon!!! I'm excited!!! Yes, I have some pots ready and waiting. :) :)

Judi - like in your other thread, I love your Lady Ella!!! I can't believe you got THAT many blooms from your Lady Ella!!!! The first picture is crazy how many roses you got!!!!! My heavens!!!!

Kitty, mine will acclimate first week under tree area. Then I have no clue where I will plant them! Oops!

@judijunebugarizonazn8

Lady Ella looks dreany! Beautiful! Amazing plethora of blooms!

@kentucky_rose zone 6

Under a shady tree sounds great! Ours are shipping today. You have a little time still to plan to plant your roses. LOL! Best Wishes! Carve a new bed in the niddle of the lawn? I love triangle & circle beds in the middle of lawns.

7:02PM EST, NY TIME,

MONDAY, July 6, 2026

APRIL & ASHLEY started shipping my 3 orders today, ”10 roses” I purchased on discount. Shall arrive on Friday! WOOHOO!

CHECK YOUR EMAILS & SHOP APP for A&A shipping today notices?

Here’s latest notification on my order:

@kentucky_rose zone 6

Soooo Excited! Your order is on the way!

I have 4 UPS large boxes coming fir my 3 orders. Friday will be big w/ celebrations for us! I hope you find spots for them. I find they grow well in pots on patios/porches with good potting soil to start them. Also, on dry surfaces like patios, decks, porches, last year and this yeat, I had 8-15 potted roses and none had any BS-it kept them drier. However, plant them in August to establish ground roots tobmake it tgrough winter or put them in a garage. With the harsh winters be careful to fully winterize then . New rosres have it more difficult to make it through the winter. (Mound, burlap,too.)

I do not think the person who reported the other thread about AA’s 40% promotional campaign—and caused it to be deleted—was acting in the best interest of the company. I expressed my concerns about the brand’s promotional campaign directly to AA and received the following response, which I am sharing here.

@AprilAndAshley I don't quite understand the promotion. Can I post my A&A photos here, or do I need does it need to be an original post?

Anyway, it's great to have a post with feedback on the April & Ashley roses, since most of them are unknown in the U.S. and we have very little to go on.

Below is a photo of my new A&A Notre Dame and Amnesia in a vase. These are first blooms, and a bit small, but they are lovely. They last for a long time in the vase, as expected. They are a similar color palette, with Notre Dame being more pastel and Amnesia a deeper lavender. I think they will go together spectacularly. The Amnesia here is about a week old.

Also included are photos of my White O'Hara from April & Ashley. It grows unusually well in the cool, sometimes foggy coastal climate of the East Bay.

@Eastbay Fogzone

Lovely White O'Hara! Nice to know she grows well in a foggy bay area! Great to see Notre Dame and Amnesia blooms. Their coloring is beautiful! Perfect blooms! Amnesia is enchanting!

Eastbay, I love your White O’Hara, Notre Dame and Amnesia! Vaselife, form are exquisite. Any disease problems?

Kitty, I appreciate the planting suggestions/options. I may have ordered too many this year? A&A roses are extra nice and price is right! Their varieties are new to me and I am thoroughly enjoying growing them!

Elena - thanks for caring about A&A's brand. :)

Eastbay - so the first 4 pics are White O'Hara? They're sooo beautiful!!

I love how their roses come ready to grow all the way to Canada. They look as good as the bareroot roses I got in April, and I didn't have to worry about rolling them in/out of the garage in the cold nights of spring (I grow my roses in pots). Hopefully they'll get all the way here in good shape in the heat of summer. We're having temps in the high 70s to low 80s. :)
