On May 8, 2006, I ordered 2 pink rosebuds and 2 apple blossom rosebuds (Order #100049614523461487). The order arrived 11 days later. The two pink rosebuds were in good size. The two apple blossom rosebuds were more expensive but very small. The apple blossom rosebuds looked like they were just transferred from 1" pots to 2.5" pots before packaged. Each apple blossom had 3 leaves and the root was not well established. As instructed, I did not transplant the plants right away. A week later, the two pink rosebuds were thriving while the two apple blossom rosebuds died. I emailed Hobbs Farm & Greenery, asking if I could have replacement for the two dead apple blossom rosebuds. It has been more than a week and I still have not heard from them.
On June 6th, 2006, SnoopyPuppy changed the rating from negative to neutral and added the following:
After I posted this negative message, the owners contacted me, informing me that the apple blossom rosebuds were not available and I would receive a refund in check. Thanks for taking your time to respond to my email and message. So in all fairness, I change my rating to neutral.
Our order from this company was very small. Part of the reason for that was that we could get the same plants a little cheaper in other places. The second reason was that the selection was good, but not huge. We ordered a couple of plants that were not available anywhere else. The quality of the plants was good. I believe that the plants arrived in small plastic containers. They delivered the plants on time. I had no telephone contact with them, so I cannot say whether their phone responses are good. Hardiness and some cultural information exists in the catalog. The prices were competitive with other places, and it is worth getting this catalog.
