Anyone ordering from Sweet Hilltop Farm

last year

With Palatine shutting down the mail order rose end of their business, I have been looking for any other vendors offering bare root roses grafted on multiflora. I was pretty excited to come across Sweet Hilltop Farm.

I am wondering if any of you have any experience ordering from them.

They have some David Austin’s, Jalberts Jalbert, Kordes, and Delbard roses oh… they also offer Chandos Beauty.

Their pre-orders start on Saturday.

My chandos beauty rose arrived from sweet hilltop farm ..it is a beauty! Very big , beautiful roots and looks ready to take off . I soaked it overnight and will plant today .im definitely nervous bc of our warm weather but I think I’ll pot it first in shade and plant it out in a month . It’s just too precious to me to lose . The rose was nicely packed and included a hand written thank you note from the owner which i thought was so sweet. I would definitely purchase from them again !

Apparently the orders are open now so I decided to be a guinea pig and order from them. They have apparently been around a while and they're in my region of the country, so it's a potentially good fit. I got a quick confirmation of my order and the bareroot shipping is free after $130. The roses were about $34 each which is OK for bareroots.

Thanks for posting this! I'm also eager for alternatives to Regan and Palatine as we lament their losses of vendors.

I ordered a rose from them last season, and the quality was very good. The owner, Jennifer, is very kind and communicative. I believe they only started shipping roses last season, but they are a legit small business.

@Markay MD-Zone 7B The roses on the Labor Day Sale page show as available. I don't know if the 30% Labor Day discount still works, I didn't try it. However, the main rose page shows everything "sold out". I assume Cynthia ordered from the sale page..

I wasn't able to use the 30% off Labor Day sale, but I just googled Sweet Hilltop Farm and the main order page came up. The prices are reasonable enough that I didn't need the sale, Labor Day being quite some time ago.

@nippstress - zone 5 Nebraska That's weird, Cynthia. I also googled SHF to get to the website, but for me (and Markay, evidently) the main order page shows every rose "sold out" (and nothing clickable, no way to place in the cart). The only place that roses were available and order-able was on the Labor Day Sale page (which still has the Labor Day coupon code on it). I wonder what the difference is?

I think this is the new collection that they are releasing this Saturday. I happened to be in touch with Sweet Hilltop Farm and they said it's going on sale at 11:00 a.m. CT this Saturday.

The Labor Day Sale page is existing stock that you can order now (at least that's how I interpret it).

Oh, you wicked enablers! I did order off the Labor Day sale from the current inventory and didn't see all the upcoming pre-order sales. Now I'm drooling over all those amazing Jalbert roses and will probably make another order. It's wonderful to see these incredible roses getting wider sales since every Jalbert rose I've grown so far (around 8) has been hardy, healthy, gorgeous, and a prolific bloomer. Now I'll be checking out the sales once they start Saturday.

And you're not a bit ashamed of yourselves for "making" me order more roses, are you? :)

I ordered 4 roses I’ve been wanting to try and I’m really happy to get them grafted on multiflora. I ordered Cinderella Fairy tale, Fiji, Arctic Blue, and La Perla. I was tempted to get Eustacia Vye, but i stuck to my decision not to add anymore Davd Austin roses. They don’t do that well in my no spray garden.

@Markay MD-Zone 7B - thanks for letting us know about this nursery. I’m happy that someone else will be offering multiflora grafted roses. I placed an order earlier this month and Jennifer quickly replied when I had a question.

Lily, I'm so glad to hear that. I had a positive purchasing experience and lovely interaction with Sweet Hilltop Farms two years ago before they fully launched their bare root offerings. So, I've really been rooting for them and hoping they'd be a reliable vendor.

Chandos Beauty sounds like an absolutely perfect rose, and I can't wait to see it blooming in your garden.
