I haven’t received mine yet, @Katsa. I hope it will arrive soon so I get a chance to plant it while the weather is dry and mild. No dispatch notification either.
Me neither @Katsa and I got my order in really early. I also have orders with Peter Beales and Roses Loubert of France. I’m in the same boat as you, impatient to get them all, but beds not ready yet! I am going to pot most of them up first, over winter in the poly tunnel then plant them out the spring or repot those I’m trialing.
Mountainous Northern Catalunya, Spain. Hot summers, cold winters.
For tcl order they tell which week of the year somewhere. I remember from some calculations that mine will be dispatched around 15th nov but now i cant find the email where the week number was mentioned. Anyway i am not ready at all, have been very busy at work and no time for garden.
My TCL account page says order is pending, and in the email it says they will ship mid November (I ordered at the end of Sept).
I need to prep more beds as well as where I had planned to place them I’ve just discovered has a thick layer of chalk or some such that I can’t get through 😐 Nowhere else is even close to being ready though...all rough grass/weeds.
I had already forgotten some of the roses I ordered so checking my account page was a pleasant surprise
My TCL order confirmation email didn’t give any hint of delivery week, just ‘We thank you for your order. Orders are delivered from mid-October to April. You will receive a message about the time in advance. The invoice is then enclosed’. It used to be you received your invoice with the actual delivery, so paid afterwards, but maybe that’s changed and you now have to pay before delivery - sensibly on their part. I forgot to pay one year and many months went by before they prompted me!
Since I ordered in August, with a few sneaky additions later, I expect mine will be this side of Christmas, assuming they process orders sequentially.

My understanding @tack is that we will be invoiced one week prior to planned shipment. Maybe someone who has previously ordered from TCL might have more concrete info.
Last year i received an invoice to pay which i paid immediately, and then few days later i received roses. I am not sure if they first checked payment received on their side or not.
I have always preferred clematis to roses until I joined this forum. My garden is new build small and although my clematis still outnumber my roses I have just taken delivery from Trevor White rose number 7, Easy Does It and rose number 8 Ghislaine de Feligonde. Thank you @Marlorena for starting it and everyone else for their photos and comments which helped me chose. 😊🤗 Very impressed with the root system.
^those are top quality as one expects from Trevor White's... @K67 .. oh and thanks, I hope it becomes a regular feature each year, a dedicated thread was always needed here I felt..
@Katsa Hi Katsa... yeah I'm good thanks and for alerting me there too, very considerate of you.. I still look in every day, don't miss anything, but really busy sorting out the garden... it's been such mess.. I'm being pestered by DA, every day with their discount offers... I must have had 20 emails all with different codes... I don't order from them until March usually so that can wait and I really need another rose like a hole in the head... I thought I was downsizing but checking what I have I see it's crept up again... [like ballooned]... I'm waiting for my Beales and T White's order and then I'm done for this year..
..speak again soon.. hope everybody is well.. perhaps I'll get around to taking a picture tomorrow but I've done most of my pruning.. too busy in Spring..
