      I purchased three bare root roses from Edmunds Roses and with that purchase came three other bare root roses free of charge as part of their Bogo sale. When the three roses I paid for in full failed to grow, I contacted Edmunds Roses. First they asked me for photos as proof, then they decided not to refund or replace the three roses I purchased, claiming it was because they were part of a Bogo deal. I paid in full for the three roses that did not grow and the ones that came free with that purchase are struggling to survive.I am an experienced gardener with numerous heirloom roses in my garden.

      I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and have determined that this does not resolve my complaint.  For your reference, details of the offer I reviewed appear below.

      [Bogo sale or not, one rose arrived dead on arrival, so they replaced it, why? it was part of a Bogo sale!  I also informed them that another rose (with photos) had dried black stems.  They instructed me to trim the dead branches down and plant the rose and let them know in four to six weeks if it showed new growth or not (email dated 5/13/2024) and that they had made notes on my account.  The rose they replaced is struggling, the rose I originally complained about is struggling, and of the remaining roses three are dead.  Why promise a followup on BOGO item? why ask me for photos on the three reported dead roses if they had no intention of replacing or refunding.  The customer service followup by this ********************** is inconsistent and selective.  Bogo sale did not disclose DEAD roses, their name is still behind it.  Why do they followup on customer service complaints on Bogo sale ********************** if they had not intention of doing anything about it?   I have been honest about this first purchase with this company, but they keep evading their responsibilities as a "reputable" rose supplier. ]

      On 2-22-24. an order was placed with **** seeds for $199.28. **** seeds sent two partial shipments stating that some items were not available. Today an attempt was made to recover the $ or have replacement items sent for those that were not available. The four unavailable items cost $7.95, $7.95, $7.95, and $18.95 totaling $ *****. **** seeds made it 100%. clear that items # *****, *****, *****, ***** would never be sent and that no $ would be refunded or credited. A clear contradiction to the **** seed guarantee. Please help reconcile the $***** and inform others of the unscrupulous character of the **** seeds company. Last but not least, this has happened before! On 4-4-22 an incomplete order was never sent.

      Last December I ordered 4 roses from Edmunds Roses which is owned by ************* and based at this address based on the contact page The roses shipped in spring, bare root (meaning no leaves/ no dirt I would have to plant and wait until it sprouts to determine the the dormant plant is healthy or not.Short description: Company sent me a dud rose plant, when I asked customer service to help me resolve, they said too bad it's past 90 days and I provided my explanation and they ignored all of my followups.long description:The problem is I bought a ************************************** **** which by their own definition is "This rose was chosen for its exceptional vigor, non-stop blooming habit and blossoms that won't **** in the heat" Now either it's a complete false description or they sent me a dud (sometimes roses are grafted and the graft can die and whatever root grows) I have no way of determining that because the plant itself looks healthy but not a single *******************! I'm beginning to question whether or not I have an actual rose plant. I was patient in giving it time, taking good care and fertilizing accordingly. All the other roses I received bloomed immediately, this one only has leaves and not a single flower. I'm extremely upset because it's supposed to be a climber for decoration. When I felt that enough time as gone by i asked customer service to resolve but they basically said tough luck it's past 90 days to request a credit. However I politely explained I had a living plant, it just wasn't what I ordered. I requested a review and they ignored every time I tried to follow up. This is unacceptable customer service, especially if they ship something I didn't buy/item not as described. I am asking for a full refund for that plant only. When people buy roses, they expect to see flowers.

      Customer ordered 4 ********************** on **********.  These roses were Shipped on 02-23-2023.
      Customer first notified us of a problem with this rose on 09-12-2023. That is almost seven months after the shipment. 
      Our guarantee does read:
      A Credit Voucher in the amount of the purchase price, less shipping charges, will be issued for ******** that fails to grow following our recommended planting and care, if we are notified within 90 days of receipt of the rose.  We do not guarantee roses lost due to weather conditions, neglect, disease, pest damage or other conditions outside of our control..
      Here  is a copy of the Email we received from customer and our response:
      9/12/23 cust em I think the ***************************** you sent is a dud. All the other roses bloomed right away and all throughout summer. I haven't seen a single bloom and this variety supposed to bloom a lot.   em cust We are sorry to hear that the ***************************** failed to grow. Our guarantee is we need to be notified within 90 days after the rose is received of any failures. It is well past the guarantee, and we are unable to issue any credit for the rose that failed to grow.
      Customer service was following ********************** Protocol in answering this email.
      There has been no other correspondence with this customer.
      I reached out to the customer on Monday, October 9, 2023 via phone and left a message that I would like to discuss the ***************************** **** and left my pone number.  They have not responded back to me.
      The problem is that they said, the plant looks healthy, but not a single *******************.
      There are many reasons why a rose does not bloom, the biggest being fertilizer.  Too much or the wrong kind of fertilizer will encourage the plant to produce foliage at the expense of blossoms.
      Where did they plant this rose?  Sunlight is definitely the most common environmental stressor that prevents blossoming .  If the rose did not receive enough sunlight,it may have failed to bloom. Most roses prefer full sun.
      This rose is grown on its own root, so there is no graft involved.  Our Guarantee states we will issue a Credit Voucher for ******** that fails to grow.  This rose did not fail to grow!
      No further action will be taken at this time!

      Better Business Bureau:

      I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and have determined that this does not resolve my complaint.  For your reference, details of the offer I reviewed appear below.

      I was on vacation and checked the voicemail when I got back. As I was getting ready to call them I received this response which is further angering me as they are placing the blame on me regarding a rose they sent that won't bloom/not as described. I ordered 4 roses from them, 3 bloomed this didn't. I have over 50 roses in my care over the years, needless to say I know how to take care of my roses. I have only fertilized once when I noticed it not blooming with a fertilizer specifically for rose blooms and did not over fertilize (I didn't have to fertilize the other roses they sent to see blooms). When that didn't work I decided to contact them. They are growing in the sun and receive the exact same care and conditions of all my roses, so the conclusion is they sent me a rose not as described. It could be a dud/ non fertile. It happens in plants. 

      While they can say their 90 day policy only covers a rose that doesn't grow, it is good business practice to do the right thing and refund an item that was sent not as described.  I have had friends order from countless nurseries online who do the right thing and refund if the items are not as described or shipped wrong item. One recently got a full refund after 2 years because they were sent the wrong variety of persimmon tree. You don't know a plant is wrong until it fruits and it takes several years. Had this rose bloomed in the 4th month a *******************, would they also tell the customer "sorry tough luck it's passed 90 days and your rose did grow therefore you're not covered"? Their 90 day no grow policy should not be an excuse to do the right thing in this situation. If I ordered an apple tree and they sent me an orange tree, I would expect a refund as well even though that isn't written in their policy.

      I waited this long to contact because the rose was healthy and assumed it takes a little time for this one to be established, and waited longer to see if the one time fertilizer would help. Most roses have a vigorous bloom cycle in spring and fall and since fall came and nothing was budding I decided to reach out to resolve. 

      I'm not asking for a credit , I'm asking for a full refund for the rose and I will gladly ship it back to them if they send me a label as proof it didn't bloom they can continue to watch it as well. They described it as a vigorous *******, and not even one bloom came out. 

      I am attaching my emails screenshot to them. They claimed they haven't heard back from me, rather their customer service just ignored my emails instead of escalating to see if this can be resolved. 


      Regards,

      ***************

      I have attached some more information for the reason that the **************************** may not be Blooming.

      The biggest reason is that most Climbing roses bloom on two year canes.  The customer stated that the rose looks healthy.

      More than likely it is just not mature enough to have bloomed this first season.

      I would like to request that the customer give the rose time to mature.

      I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and have determined that this does not resolve my complaint.  For your reference, details of the offer I reviewed appear below.

      I have attached the description of the rose on the site not only did the company describe the rose as a non-stop *******, there is no mention that this particular rose takes 2 years to bloom. The attachment the company sent is not found on this page and is of an unknown source to me. Had I known this rose would not bloom I would not buy. Moreover, the website clearly states I'm shipped a 2 year old cane and #1 grade, therefore there should have no problems blooming.

      The fact is not a single bloom came out, which is highly unusual for ********. The only conclusion was I was unfortunate to receive a dud or a sterile rose or an incorrect rose shipped, which happens. The company clearly states "We want you to be 100% satisfied with every item that you purchased from Edmunds' roses." My request is a refund for an item not described and I will be satisfied. I've been patient enough waiting all summer to no avail. Another year will not help as this rose is already in it's second year when shipped.

      On June 24, 2023, I purchased a banana plant from **** Garden in ***********. At this time, I was not informed about a return policy, nor did notice any return policy posted. After having the banana tree for a few weeks, the leaves started to yellow and ****. I thought it was an issue with my watering schedule. I bought a water meter, aerated the soil, and added more perlite to the soil to improve drainage. After a few more weeks, the situation was getting worse, and I tried altering watering techniques again. By early August, I noticed the entire plant was covered in spider mite webbing and larvae that we had never seen before. We immediately removed the plant to the outside away from our other plants. We have never had spider mites before. I called **** on Sunday 8/6, explained the situation, and requested we get a refund. The customer service rep told me that it would be no problem and that we could get a full refund. My husband went to return the plant that week and the clerk and manager said there was a no refund policy on houseplants. They admitted that they had spider mite problems and that the plant probably was infested when it was sold. I called **** back after my husband was turned away and they doubled down on this - going back on what was told to me over the phone and supporting the sale of infected plants with contagious conditions. Their website nor their receipt state the return policy and their response to why someone would tell me over the phone that I could get a full refund with no issue was that the person I talked to must have been new.

      Hello, I am sorry to hear about this. I was not aware of the situation. We will give you a full refund for your infested Banana plant and I am sorry this has happened. I will let the *********** store know to expect you and to take care of you and this situation.

      Purchased 14 packets of seeds on January 31, 2023 (order # ******). When I received them I planted some of the seeds in seed starter soil to insure they had good germination rates.After 3 weeks, all of the seeds germinated except the seeds from 3 of the packets: beans, spinach, and zuchnini. I then tried to get these seeds to sprout by placing them in a wet paper towel for 3 weeks. Still no luck. So I contacted **** seeds and over several emails was told it was my fault multiple times. It was not... I have germinated similar seeds many times from other companies in the past using the same procedure and environment.

      I ordered 5 bare root rose plants from Edmunds Roses.in March. Order #******. I planted all 5 roses on the same day to their exact specifications. Only one of the plants grew, and it is growing well. I gave the plants plenty of time to develop, but nothing happened. I contacted them and they asked for pictures. I sent the pictures, and they said their horticulturist said I should have contacted them sooner and they may have suggested "drastic" measures to try to save them. I paid well over $130 for these plants. I spent more on the 3 different planting mediums that they say to use. I spent a lot of personal time going through their catalogue to pick out the specific roses I wanted to add to my garden. I wasn't asking for a refund, but simply to replace the "dead" plants they had sent me. They refused. Now I would like my money back so I can purchase elsewhere.

      Customer ************************* did receive an order of seeds that did not belong to her.

      I could not locate her original email in our files.

      I called customer and asked her if she would like a refund or would she like the seeds.  She did state that she would like the seeds.

      Entered a reshipment on new order J419859 to be sent out tomorrow, March 22, 2022 with expedited shipping.

      Customer may keep the seeds she received in error.

      Sent customer email to confirm the call and what was done.

      I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and have determined that this does not resolve my complaint.  For your reference, details of the offer I reviewed appear below.

      I still have not received the seeds. While I realize the **** has become very unreliable of late, I cannot accept the response until I actually
      have the seeds or a refund. I am willing to wait a little longer to see if the shipment arrives, but I did not want this complaint to be automatically resolved by not responding.


      Regards,

      I received part of my order from JungSeed. The remainder is to be shipped in the Spring. This is fine and appropriate. However, the "Other Comments" at the bottom of the shipping slip indicates that my check was $109.25, the order amount was $113.47 and I am to remit another $8.42 to complete my order. I should also mention that shipping is free on orders of $100 or more. First, I can't verify my order amount because I did not make a copy of my order before mailing............my bad! I called the company to request a copy of my order. They cannot provide a copy because it is a confidential document.....really??? They shred the originals. So, I cannot verify my order AND what they are requesting is almost twice the amount of the difference from what THEY say I ordered. I was unable to resolve this with their representative and feel it is illegal for them to ask a customer to blindly write a check to them for whatever they say is owed.

      Customer submitted an order which was entered on 01-27-2022. Customer's order was over $100.00 which qualified for free shipping.  There was a charge for State Tax in the amount of $8.42.   Order total was $113.47 - Customer submitted a check in the amount of $109.25

      which was a difference of $$4.22, Not the $8.42 that was listed on her order confirmation.    (order is attached)   We will gladly wipe the amount due off this order. Orders are shredded as a security measure after they are entered in our computer system.

      I did not hear back from you so I sent the full amount that **** Seed requested so that they would not withhold my order.  So, now they owe me double the amount I complained about.

      We have sent to our ***************** to issue a refund for the $8.42 that was listed on the customers packing slip. Refund request was made today 02-24-2022. The refund will be in the form of a check. Asking customer to give it just a few days to process.

       

      We did not and would not hold up her order for the amount due!
