A Better Way to Grow
You care about what goes into your garden—and what goes into the trash.
So do we.
At Heirloom Roses, we believe beauty should never come at the planet’s expense. That's why, after over a year of research and development, we’re proud to introduce our new compostable packaging—designed to nurture your roses and the earth.
The Problem: Too Much Plastic
Until now, elements of our shipping process depended on single-use plastics—specifically the pot, bag, and zip tie. With thousands of roses shipped each year, this added up to a significant environmental impact.
In fact, switching to compostable materials will save an estimated 19 tons of plastic from entering landfills every year.
The Solution: Compostable Packaging That Works
We’ve created a new system that is both effective and environmentally responsible. Every rose now ships in:
Cardboard Pot
Replaces the traditional plastic pot while still keeping your rose protected during shipping. It can be composted or recycled.
Compostable Bag
Made from plant-based material that protects the root zone and retains moisture. Designed to break down naturally.
Compostable Zip Tie
Even the zip tie is made from biodegradable plant material and dyed with food-based coloring.
What to Do When Your Rose Arrives
-
Cut the zip tie
-
Puncture a hole in the bottom of the bag for drainage
-
Remove the bag
-
Plant your rose in the garden or transfer it to another pot within a few days
Still Want a Pot?
We understand some gardeners prefer a traditional pot. No problem. You can still add one at checkout for a small fee.
Why It Matters
This change isn’t just about packaging—it’s about our shared responsibility to grow more consciously. When you choose Heirloom Roses, you’re not just planting a rose. You’re making a choice to support sustainability, reduce waste, and help protect the natural world for generations to come.
