Catalog: How to Order

Plants may be ordered from January through early May. Here are three options for ordering plants from us:

Our convenient shopping cart allows you to select your plants, calculates your total and issues you an immediate receipt on your browser and sends you an e-mail confirmation. Please note that your credit card will be charged once we process your order. Also note that we use PayPal to securely process your credit card payment. See additional info below.
   
   
2. Print out a copy of our order form and mail it to us: Spring Valley Roses, PO Box 7, Spring Valley, WI 54767.
   
   
3. Call us at 715-778-4481 in the evenings and weekends. Please note that we're a small nursery and may not always be available by phone.

Prices: Our plants range in price from $16.95 and higher for the flowering and fruiting shrubs and $18.95 and higher for the roses. We also offer hedge specials on some varieties were you can purchase 10 plants for $149. Roses are two-year old, grade #1, bareroot, dormant plants that are grown on their own roots (no buds/grafts). Our flowering and fruiting shrubs are grade 12-18" cane length size and are shipped bareroot and dormant.

We provide planting instructions with each order and with just a little attention, your plants will be growing and blooming in no time. To reach mature size, it usually takes a plant about three years. The first year they sleep (roots are getting established), the second year they creep and the third year they leap -- just like a perennial.

Plant Guarantee: We guarantee that our plants are true to name and will arrive alive (although dormant) and in good condition when they are shipped to you. If a dormant plant fails to grow, please contact us within one month after receiving the plant and we will refund the purchase price of your plants. Please note that sometimes it can take a few weeks for a plant to emerge from dormancy. We can't guarantee against weather related problems, soil, insect or disease problems, or gardening problems. We have grown all the plants that we sell, so we know that they will survive our climate in average gardening conditions that provide for basic soil and moisture needs and disease and pest protection. We provide good planting instructions with each order and have lots of information on this Web site to help you grow your plants. Please treat your plants like you would your pets by providing at least for their basic needs.

Plants are shipped bareroot (no soil or pot) and dormant (no foliage) from early April through mid May. You can select a preferred ship date, or we'll send the plants at the time best for planting them in your climate. Please note that we ship on Mondays only to ensure that plants reach their final destination the week that they are sent.

Shipping Costs: UPS Ground Rates:

*Alaska orders can cost significantly more to ship due to increases in shipping costs. Please contact Spring Valley Roses to arrange for shipping to Alaska as these costs cannot be estimated in our online shopping cart.

What's a "bareroot" plant?

"Bareroot" is a term that describes how a plant is shipped to you. A bareroot plant is not in a pot, and is usually dormant (not actively growing). See the photo to the right that shows what a bareroot rose looks like. The bareroot plants that we ship to you were harvested in the fall and placed in cold storage over the winter to keep them dormant. In the spring, we ship the bareroot plants to our customers, from early April through mid May.

Bareroot plants are easy to grow. We include planting instructions with your order. When you receive your plant, take it out of the packing material and place it in a bucket of water so that the roots are completely covered. Let the roots soak for 4 to 24 hours, then plant it in your garden. Full planting instructions with photos are available on our Planting Roses and Planting Shrubs pages.
