...Where To Buy Roses On Line

This page contains links to all known web rose vendors who maintain a catalog on the web and ship to homes in the US. Prices and selections listed are current as of January 2002 and may have changed since then. Be sure to check the vendor's web site for the latest information. The price of a rose is only part of what you'll pay. High shipping charges can make an apparently inexpensive rose cost a lot more. Look at each company's shipping and packing charges to be sure you are comparing the total price. In cases of Canadian nurseries, there may also be a charge for the phytosanitary certificate necessary to import roses in to the US.

We have marked those vendors offering low prices with Low $ to make it easier to find the bargains. Please keep in mind that in some cases, extra low prices may mean older out-of-patent varieties (like OGRs) or very young plants that are barely more than cuttings. Do your research before ordering so you know what your are paying for.
