Heirloom™ has called the Willamette Valley home since 1973, when John and Louise Clements founded the nursery on their small farm in St. Paul, Oregon. What they built over decades, a deep commitment to quality roses and the preservation of rare and unique varieties, laid the foundation for everything Heirloom™ is today. Their original farmhouse still stands as our office, a daily reminder of the legacy we are proud to carry forward.
Today, Heirloom™ is owned and operated by Ben and Kara Hanna, who have continued that legacy with the same passion and hands-on dedication the Clements instilled. Heirloom™ is a true family business in every sense: all five of the Hanna children have worked at the nursery, and that sense of family extends to every member of the team.
We are passionate about propagating each rose by hand to ensure that we provide our customers with the best own-root roses available. We are committed to providing disease-free, own-root roses that deliver profuse blooms, while also being winter hardy, disease resistant, and true to variety. While own-root roses cannot be quickly produced like grafted roses, we think the difference and quality is worth it. Over the years, Heirloom™ has also grown to offer everything else your garden needs, from perennials and bulbs to soil care and fertilizers, because a beautiful garden starts long before the first bloom.
We know that gardens mean something. They are where you spend your weekends, where you gather with people you love, and where the right plant in the right place can make all the difference. Our goal is to be the resource you turn to for every part of that, with the plants, products, and expert guidance to help you build the garden you have always envisioned
Our friendly and knowledgeable customer care team provides one-on-one attention and guidance throughout the entire growing season and beyond. Every member of our team is wholeheartedly committed to helping you find the perfect plants and products for your specific climate and season. Need help with planting? Questions on pruning? Wondering which bulbs to pair with your roses, or what soil amendment your beds need? We are here year-round. Send us an email or call us at 800-820-0465 and one of our staff will be happy to help.
We employ a wide variety of talented people and are proud to offer growth and advancement opportunities at every level, from our propagation team and shipping department to our customer care specialists. Our employees are our community, and their dedication is what makes Heirloom™ the company it is.
We are honored to be a part of your garden journey and look forward to making the world more beautiful, one garden at a time.
