Remember I brought bear rooted roses from Garden Express and its called Plant Store on Wowcher and less them 10 days they died. Now everyone has told me they shouldn't have sold me bear rooted rose in summer. I wrote five email still getting they are busy this time the year and they told me[ my rose have had vibrant green bark which confirms they are not dead Please do keep them well watered and feed regularly when they start to grow. You might also like to trim the tips of the branch framework back now by up to half to encourage a bushier more compact head of foliage and flowers]My rose is dead but they are they are not I don't think they want to refund me don't worry i will get my money back and not forgetting my postage.

    That is definitely the best tactic. Keep pestering them. Good luck on your refund mission.

    Is it green when you scratch through the stem?

    What tosh they speak. 
    If you dig up a healthy plant , the stem will be" vibrant and green" it doesn't follow that, when replanted, it'll grow.
    Don't let them away with it.

    Parvink - I think the main lesson to learn from this is - buy from reputable suppliers. I know it might seem more expensive sometimes, but it's worth it. Good garden centres and nurseries, and good online specialists are worth it.
    Seeds and bulbs can be better in offers, usually, but living plants are often papped off onto people, especially if you'r enew to gardening . Many of us have been there and done it, so don't worry - you're not alone in that. These offers can look very tempting, but are often a hideous mistake, and the sellers don't care, as you've sadly discovered.

    If you're looking to  buy anything and aren't sure, don't be afraid to come on here and ask before you buy. Lots of knowledgeable, helpful people will guide you in the right direction, and save you the grief  :)
