I am a central Floridian born and raised and I have never known a time that Nelson's Roses wasn't a part of the woven fabric of Apopka and the surrounding area's. My mom, who recently passed LOVED roses of every kind and Nelson's was her favorite place to procure the ones for her garden she always said "If you want beautiful hardy roses that will endure through FL weather only buy from Nelson's".
Just recently I had the pleasure of experiencing Nelson's hands on amazing customer service. We were trying to acquire a specific mini rose for my mother's memorial planting and NO ONE had what we needed and if they did they couldn't guarantee delivery dates. So, I called Nelson's (which is only open to the public on Saturdays) and left a desperate message. Not only did Annie Nelson call me back quickly but she went above and beyond to find me the perfect rose. Tracking through their large fields searching for a specific rose in the middle of the night and not only 1 but 3, "Dream Come True" roses which I was amazed they could supply at such short notice. She kept in contact with me and allowed me to retrieve the roses before the normal Saturday business hours. We have never had someone care so much for what we were trying to accomplish and work so hard to help us achieve it.
I would recommend Nelson's Roses to everyone who has a desire for beautiful roses that are grown in FL soil and FL weather. They will surely survive the transplant that normally shocks others from big box stores. In truth no one surpassed Nelson's on any front from product to customer service and beyond.
All I can say is, " Mama was right, as always".

Very satisfied with our rose trip.
Great selection of roses and Gene is so helpful!
Last Saturday we visited the rose nursery and even though we didn't know that we actually arrived outside of the timeframe allotted for visitors, everyone we came across was extremely pleasant, friendly, and helpful.
I would like to give out a special shout-out to Ramone who took it upon himself to give us a small tour and was extremely knowledgeable and patient with my million questions.
We ended up buying a potted Tiffany rose plant, already can't wait to see it grow! So, so happy to have found this place! We will definitely be purchasing more from here in the future and highly recommend this to anyone else interested!

it was a great rose-field trip. recommended them to so many of my gardening friends already!! Gene was so helpful to find us the colors we were looking for!! very pleased with our trip and purchase. he also got many cut flowers for my girls. the lady at the customer center was very friendly and nice. most of all the plants were looking so healthy
Great nursery, helpful staff! So happy to see their new Winter Garden location coming together!!!
What a fantastic place! If you are looking for roses, this is the place to go. The selection is huge, all different colors, styles, scents.
Folks there are friendly and helpful as well. It was fun zooming around in the golf cart to shop for our roses! We had a guide who was very knowledgeable and helped us pick out some great roses.
Two important points, they are only open to the public on Saturday, and hours are limited so be sure to get there in the AM.
It looks like industry warehouses from the road but just follow the signs, once you turn in the driveway, go straight for a bit and it opens up to a sea of roses.
They do cash or credit, with a discount given for cash so swing by the ATM first.
It's a short drive from the Windermere/Winter garden area and def worth it.
