Description
Plant spacing is based on the ultimate width of the plants. This figure is normally given as a range; for example, 3-5’. If you live in a cold climate and/or want plants to fill in more quickly, plan to space at the shorter end of the range. If you live in a warm climate, are on a limited budget, or are willing to wait longer for plants to touch, use the higher end of the range. Using the larger number is recommended when calculating distance from a building or structure. There’s really no such thing as "maximum spacing": if you don’t want your plants to touch, you can space them as far apart as you’d like. All plant spacing is calculated on center, or in other words, the centers of the plants are spaced one half of their eventual width apart:
Unless you are planting in a straight line, as you might for hedges or edging, space your plants in a staggered or zig-zag pattern for a more interesting and naturalistic look:

Arrives as young plant
While vines may look effortless as they scamper over structures, many of them benefit from extra training to grow just the way you like. We'll break it down for each type, and even include examples from some of our great gardeners.
I ordered two of these roses and they arrived quickly and healthy. Excited to watch them grow.
I ordered two of these climbers a month or so ago. They shipped in very healthy looking with leaves still attached. I planted them right away with some compost and after shedding their old leaves still on from shipping they are already sprouting new growth and fresh leaves. Will see how they overwinter!
This plant was so tiny and looked very sad. I immediately popped it into raised bed mix with Biotone root starter and she is growing and is so happy!
We’re sorry you’re not satisfied with your plants! On each product page and our plant sizes page, we note that all of our plants are young. The size of our plants varies depending on the time of year and whether they were recently trimmed. The most important thing when purchasing plants, online or in garden centers, is a full and robust root system, which we prioritize. Trimming only encourages stronger root development! All orders are covered by our 60-day guarantee, so please reach out to claims@greatgardenplants.com to start the claims process if necessary.
The rose arrived healthy and is growing!
roses arrived in a healthy condition with no shipping damage. I removed the plastic covering, watered the plants and placed them in the shaded area of my porch for a couple of days then gradually moved them into more and more sunlight for three days, then put them outside on the sidewalk around my house for a full sun couple of days, always keeping them moist in the pot. Planted them, and three weeks later had long stems growing up into my trellis. All is well. Expect great things from them next year.
