Matthews Roses are available for sale all year round. They make the perfect gift for a lifetime of blooms. To find your nearest NZ Garden Centre Stockist check out our Stockists page. The following information applies to our online store. Rose deliveries are within New Zealand only. For Terms and Conditions please scroll to the bottom of this page.
These are dormant new season winter roses - traditionally the best time to plant! If you are planning on ordering a few roses we suggest ordering at this time of year as multiple plants can be packed into one parcel. This also saves on freight costs and packaging materials. These can also be pre-ordered from March to May, which is highly recommended due to the popularity of some varieties.
These roses are potted in our beautiful burgundy hard pots for Spring/Summer delivery. Perfect for gifting while in bloom for the holiday season or anytime for that special someone (pictured 'Lucky Charm' in December) Shipping costs of potted roses differ to winter bareroot roses so see freight information below.
Our online selection of Standard 800mm and Mini-Standard 450mm roses are only available to buy on our website Bareroot during winter from June to August (as they are too large to deliver on the courier over Spring/Summer). We recommend visiting your nearest Garden Centre Stockist for further availability.
Our usual dispatch day is WEDNESDAY each week (this can change depending on public holidays and over the Christmas/New Year break). Roses ordered online are dispatched Bareroot from June to August and Potted from September to March. Sign up to our monthly newsletter to keep updated with the latest information.
We can deliver roses all over New Zealand (including Stewart Island and the Chatham Islands!) Freight costs are calculated automatically at check out. Please note there is an additional charge of $7.50 for rural delivery addresses. Scroll down to our Terms and Conditions below to see full pricing.
For your convenience we have a free gift card available. If you would like to add one to your order it can be selected from our 'Gifts and Special Occasions' page and added to cart with your message. Popular gifting varieties also have the option to add a free gift card below the 'Add to cart' button. Alternatively you can leave a message in the 'Order Notes' section on the Checkout screen or get in touch with our friendly team.
These 1.8m high plants make a statement in any garden setting. We recommend ordering from your nearest Matthews Roses stockists. They are too large to send direct on the courier which is why they are not listed for sale online. See our Garden Centre stockists page for your local supplier.
A true seasonal delight our specialist range of NZ bred Crabapples (Malus) are now available to purchase online as Bareroot plants during winter - as well as from selected NZ garden centres. See our stockists page to find your nearest supplier.
Our specialist range of Lilacs (Syringa) trees are available from selected NZ garden centres (and occasionally during winter on our website). See our stockists page to find your nearest supplier. Please note we have limited availability of stock of particular varieties.
If a rose variety is currently sold out, it may be available in store at one of our Garden Centre Stockists or online the following season. If you are unsure about availability or have any questions about pre-ordering contact us directly - see our Contact page.
All rose varieties listed online are personally viewed by Bob and Cath Matthews on the nursery in order to provide an accurate as possible description. In reference to fragrance it is described as to what we smell which may differ slightly from your nose! If a description does not mention fragrance, it is because that variety has none. Plant heights listed in descriptions are approximate to what they grow here in the nursery near Whanganui, New Zealand - so they can marginally differ in other regions and growing conditions.

To be eligible for a credit, notification must be made within 8 weeks of purchase.
