My plants arrived right on time, they were in beautiful shape, and they sent an additional 3 'bonus' plants in addition to the 6 I purchased. I highly recommend this company. | | Positive | Snug_As_Bug_Rug

I cannot rave enough at the superior quality of the plants and the way they were packaged. Every plant was meticulously wrapped, an outward sign of pride, patience, and TLC. There were no signs of insect damage, and, there were bonus/free plants too!. An A-plus rating. I would definitely order from them again.

They shipped on Sat. and were in FL by Monday. RDG has gotten me off to a great start, and I hope to be adding more varieties from them each year. They even threw in a bonus plant, thoughtlfully color matched to my purchase. This felt like real personal care, especially appreciated since mine was such a small order (1 ea. of 4 types.)

I just received my order, and can't tell you how pleased I am. Now I know what all the Dave's Gardeners were talking about when they raved about Rosy Dawn. And thank you, too, for the lovely Purple Emperor you added as a bonus! It goes perfectly with all the other coleus I've kept over the winter, and I can't wait to plant my "coleus container" in a few days. I'm also very impressed with the packing, unique! Thanks!

Got my shipment today and all 12 or so varieties were lush and healthy and gorgeous and carefully packaged as usual. They are small but that doesn't make a difference with coleus being as they grow so fast.
This is an excellent company all around. They have a huge selection & the web site has been updated - very easy to use with great pictures.
I've been ordering plants for about 25 years and this company is one of my top 5 all time favorites.

I was so pleased when the plants arrived. They were packed very well and looked almost fresh when taken out of the packaging. I repotted them into small individual 4" pots (to let the root balls expand), watered them and put them in a shady spot and with one to two days, the plants looked like they had never been shipped or anything!
I will definitely order from this company again......most certainly one of the best mail orders that I have ever received (and trust me, I have received a lot of them over the years from a lot of different companies!!!)
Rating: POSITIVE and then some!

All of the coleus came individually wrapped. So much care was taken for their shipping! Unwrapping each coleus was like christmas all over!
The size of the coleus is amazing! Hands down cheaper, better looking, and more healthy than the "specialty" coleus I can get locally at nurseries/garden centers!
Customer Satisfaction: OUTSTANDING!
Plant Material: TOTALLY AWESOME!
I will definitely be a repeat customer of Rosy Dawns!!! | | Positive | ZZsBabiez

The plants were shipped on the date expected, confirmation was received, and the plants arrived quickly in perfect condition. The packing was superb. Each plant was healthy and beautiful, with not even a broken stem. I am very impressed! This is the way a mail-order nursery should be run.
Now I only wish I could order one of each of their plants. Thank you Rosy Dawn Gardens.

Their web page is great for making selections and combinations. Nice pictures and descriptions as well.
The plants all arrived according to the dates requested. Each was very well packaged for shipping.
I doubled the size the order I placed with them for this year, and I can't wait till they arrive. | | Positive | so10101

My order arrived a few days ago... wonderful shipping... plants arrived rolled up in corrugated cardboard... today they look like they were never packed up and shipped.. This is the first mail order plant shipment I received out of many many orders from other companies... that rebounded so quickly after shipping... wish I could post a picture to show you how great these plants look...

The order arrived recently after having spent 5 days in shipment and the plants were a little stressed. I was concerned about one of them because it really looked the worse for wear. After contacting the company, I was assured they would replace if necessary. Fortunately, all have recovered beautifully and I'm thrilled to have found a company with great selection and terrific service. I'll be back to order more. Betty | | Positive | Solstice98

All arrived in excellent shape to Northern New England. The foliage was healthy and lush on rooted cuttings in a root ball about the size of a spool of thread. Each was wrapped and taped into cardboard tubes. We'll pot these up in 1/2 gallon containers and grow them on in the greenhouse before planting out into the landscape in June. | | Positive | Frank1965

While I am still waiting for my second order (I put in the order last night and it has already been shipped today), I would like to say that this is a great company to work with. Their plants are beautiful and wrapped so well that they arrive healthy- no breakage and no wilting. They promptly fill and confirm orders, and ship quickly. And with my first order, they kindly included a bonus plant.
I will not hesitate to order from them again when their season opens next year.
