I like these folks better than anywhere else I've ever bought roses.
The plants are unusually husky and healthy; packaging is extra-good, shipping is fast, and results have been topnotch. And when they once made an error and sent a rose to me instead of to my gift recipient, they immediately (within 24 hours) sent out one to the gift recipient and told me to keep the other one with
no charge. They were very nice about it, too.

I ordered a "Peace" HT from Witherspoon. This was my first order from Witherspoon -- and it won't be the last! Very prompt shipping. This was the best looking bareroot rose I've ever seen! (And I've seen many!) 5 healthy canes and a substantial root system. Too bad they stop shipping at the end of April. If I lived closer I'd go there for potted roses. I'll be sure to order from them again next year! Great company!!

First time ordering here, actually the first time I have ordered bareroot roses. Great specimens, selection and service. Will not hesitate to order from them again.
I ordered from this company for the first time this year and I must say that of all of the bareroot roses I've ordered these were the best looking of the bunch. They already have twice as much new growth as any other rose I have.
I've shopped at Witherspoon for 10 years. I'm fortunate to live in the same city. They are always friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. You will not be disappointed by this company.

The roses arrived on time just as I requested. These are some of the healthest bare root roses I've ever seen. The packaging was excellent.
I highly recommend this company.
About to order again from Witherspoon and thought I would say the ones (4 hybrid teas) I got from them some 7 yrs ago are still exceptionally healthy bloomers.

Last year I ordered about 20 roses, some HT, Austins, and florabunda, from Witherspoon. All but one did wonderfully and bloomed up until November. The one that died was replaced with no questions.
I ordered 14 more this year which I received UPS a few days ago. They are very large sturdy bushes with healthy roots. The only black spot I had was on a climber.
Witherspoon has been very helpful in answering my questions about planting times,methods, etc. They also offer a program to design and maintain your roses, including spraying every 10 days.
The courteous treatment I received is exceptional.
We are very pleased with the quality of their roses, both Hybrid Teas and tree roses. The bare root plants were big, arrived in very good condition and had excellent garden performance.

We ordered 19 new roses from this company for 2004. Having ordered hundreds of roses over the years from various companies, Witherspoon's continue to be what I would consider the finest in the trade. They were nothing short of excellent.

UPS delivered a rose I ordered to the incorrect address, even though the address was clear on the mailing label. My rose sat in a warehouse for days, and UPS refused to give me a delivery time so I could be at home to for the delivery. I called Witherspoon, and the owner hand-delivered the best looking bareroot rose I'd ever ordered--and he did it on a day when we had a terrible ice storm! They are very customer-service oriented.
