California Coastal Rose Society rare rose auction--save the date!

last year

hi all,

Posting an announcement about the upcoming California Coastal Rose Society rare rose auction April 16 so no one misses out! https://www.ccrsauction.com/index.php

(Some of you may remember me, I have been posting off and on this forum for about 15 years now whenever I am not too busy with my boys, work, garden, house, etc... )

After attending a few California Coastal Rose Society auctions in person, I joined the society as a member in early 2022. The society's mission to preserve old roses really resonated with me, plus the members are all very nice people!

Below is the info on the upcoming Spring auction. Check out the list of roses offered--some interesting ones that you really don't see anymore. Out of commerce Ralph Moore roses, Striped Queen Elizabeth- a sport of Queen Elizabeth that Kim Rupert @roseseek discovered- Lemon Chiffon, a rose that was once thought extinct, old hybrid teas, and many-petaled OGRs. Proceeds go to continue the preservation of rare roses.

Actually, we did give the same talk a couple of months ago, for California Coastal Rose Society down in Carlsbad. We're always happy to do that, when we don't have a previous commitment. We're going to speak at ARE for the Fall Seminar, but I'm not sure whether that will be THAT talk, or a different one. Jeri Jennings

Don't know what I did to attract the shoe spammer to the prior post, but we added about ten new roses to the auction lists today, so I thought I'd repost this. California Coastal Rose Society is holding its 10th annual RARE ROSE AUCTION between now and November 14, 2010. Internet bids must be submitted by noon on November 13, 2010. The auction is designed to provide rare, unusual, hard to obtain, not yet released and no longer available rose plants to participating bidders. Theses plants come from the hidden recesses of private gardens belonging to members and friends of CCRS, from special offerings of "off the menu" plants in various commercial nurseries throughout the USA and from hybridizers who share their plants with us even before they are released. The aim of the CCRS Auction Committee is to provide plants that will foster pride in ownership and serve as a special point of interest in the owner's garden. We strive to provide plants of numerous types including species roses, OGRs, POL, HT, FB, MiniFl and Minis. The Auction is divided into two parts: a Silent Auction and a Live Auction. The roses to be auctioned are listed at these two links. Details, including internet bidding procedures, can be found at our website: CCRS Rare Rose Auction Site This year for the first time, we are able to ship roses, but only within the USA. Kathy

Beth, I noticed an outbreak of similarly coloured petunias appearing all over the UK (gold and maroon) which caused me to literally avert my eyes on walking past. As a rule, I am a lover of bright colours (no beige in my house or wardrobe) but am strictly old school when it comes to roses - white or pink (or palest yellow at a pinch). Course, that does not apply to the dahlia beds, nor the many rows of cutting gladioli or luridly coloured annuals (apart from said petunias) in my allotment. Particularly enjoying a combo of orange, purple, deep red and acid green.......just not in the roses. And yeah, striped roses, not even pink and white, really do it for me but I was agog at the variety available in the US.

I think the high price rose this year (and deservedly so in my opinion) was Takao at $72. Attached is a pic of my Takao today that I posted on HMF. But the roses are not all expensive. I ended up with four roses: Symphony (Austin yellow) $6 By Appt. (Harkness very fragrant apricot floribunda) $8 Poopsie (a new exhibition mini-flora not available in commerce anywhere) $17 Dorothy Anne (an older hybrid tea by Joe Winchel that is no longer in commerce) $19. Here is a link that might be useful: My Takao today

Kathy, thanks for the update, and what a nice list of rare roses! I've been drooling over The Iron Throne since you guys offered it in your auction last year... hopefully, it'll end up being like Chris Greenwood's Ring of Fire, and get picked up for mass distribution!

Kathy ,

I have a question. I was trying to fill out the silent auction form . I don’t live too far but can’t be certain I can make it .. I have my eye on rose in particular. I can submit the email form , but if I can make it in person do I let someone know I’m there in person as well ? I’m hopeful I will win my rose and be able to take it home but I also don’t want to be bidding against my email bid , if that makes sense . Who knows , someone may be crazier than me and outbid me all together! Haha

@Lilyfinch z9a Murrieta Ca great question! Yes, if you submit via email but then are able to make it, just grab one of us CCRS members and let them know you're on site. We will ensure you have your bidding number so you are not competing against yourself. =)

I hope to see you there! It would be great to meet you. My 10 year old and I are both members and we will be there in a volunteer role to move plants, answer questions, etc. Happy to answer any other questions you might have!

Hi Kathy ! Thank you so much . I sure would love to meet you too ! I hope my husband is home to be with my children but it maybe possible to even come by until my 3 year old decides it’s enough. I’d love to see all the roses and I’m sure I’d fall in love with more .

I wonder if you can give any info on open gardens ? I’m hoping to see some this year.
