From the Curator of The Nursery at Grace Rose Farm
Comments (19)There is something about the aura and mystery of many of these roses that have been around much longer than my lifetime and may have originated in faraway places that makes them worth so much more than what a local store or nursery may carry. They are very precious parts of my garden experience. My increasing tiredness makes it difficult for me to get out much now, and being able to receive roses in the mail is a necessity now as much as a luxury. Of course I shouldn't be buying more roses at all, but Zalud House and President de Carnot are following me into my dreams. I want to say that knowing that the people who care for these wonderful roses at this nursery are also being cared for makes me very happy. We're all in this together, and this by no means easy work deserves adequate compensation....See MoreDid Anyone Get 5 Roses for $10 each From The Jackson & Perkins Sale?
Comments (9)It's a good deal and as summers mentioned the return policy if great. I'm still waiting for a Rainbow of Roses sale, but I think we may be getting to late for that. I've gotten excellent plants from ARE, ordering when they have free shipping on CyberMonday. They have large roots, but no rose can make up for a poor siting unless it's more suited to shade as a variety. In general, I find my old roses wonderful when planted where they'll do well. When I've put them in poor areas, they've grown backwards, but then so have my modern roses in a similar situation. Congrats on your MD present! Please post pics when you get them....See MoreGrace Rose Farm vs. Menagerie Farm and Flower
Comments (30)@DDinSB (Z10b Coastal CA) Here is a pic of my Stephen Rulo before he gets the top chopped off. Look down to see the small shoot that's emerging... that's Stephen. The rest is the multiflora understock, which will be cut off right above the shoot Here is Oksana, a budded maiden I received a year ago. Look down at the base, and you'll see an old cut-off stem, which was the understock I cut off. And here is one of the Westminster Pinks I sent budwood to Steve for, and received a year ago. It's pretty easy to see where the understock was cut off. I just trimmed this one a couple of days ago Hope this helps you picture budded maidens!

Comments (456)Echo, Dying , yes! I’m glad you received a refund. The big week freeze in March was very much a surprise to many roses. It could have caused that roses later decline. Or another issue. After that March big nation wide-freeze week, at first my roses looked ok; but 1-2 months later leaves came out brown , dry, and some canes finally turned brown/black. Last week I trimmed off a long black cane which was obvious frost damage, that I saw in April end & beginning of May, but took almost 2 months to turn dark. Growers won’t see the damage after a big frost right away, it comes out much later as rose tries to grow. As it warmed up to 65-70F most of time I finally saw the damage as it grew....See Moreelenazone6
